Minestrone for dinner, and afterwards, Gary and I will go out for oldest daughter's birthday shopping. She turns 25 tomorrow. How'd that happen? I seem to be caught in a time warp!
Anyway, now is good. The company is sweet and they're going to church with us tomorrow. I think this will be their first Anglican experience, and with it being All Saints' Day, hopefully they'll use incense in the service. With a goodly number of eye-rollers in the church regarding incense, I'm one of the few enthusiastic ones, it seems. Well, if you've not been brought up on it, it IS pretty amazing. Besides, I'm very into the layers of events and situations---scents, colors, flavors.
Going to go read awhile. Oldest daughter took our company to the India Festival here in town, and am assuming they'll meet up with SIB's family there as well. I've already chased around the vacuum, washed clothes and dusted, so am ready for activity again. But a break and quiet is welcome.
