Jamie, I'm so glad your back!
I was reading last night and found this quote from Charles Dickens book The Pickwick Papers. I'm not sure why it moved me but I thought I'd share it with you this week.
"Let us leave our old friend in one of those moments of unmixed happiness, of which, if we seek them,there are ever some to cheer our transitory existence here. There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast. Some men, like bats or owls, have better eyes for the darkness than for the light; we, who have no such optical powers, are better pleased to take our last parting look at the visionary companions of many solitary hours when the brief sunshine of the world is blazing full upon them."
Heidi, I love the picture of the kids in the rain. They look like they are having a blast.
Have a great week ladies!

I LOVE everything Charles Dickens. I have lots of quotes from his books in my journal (when I used to keep one!). Thanks for the thought. Hope your summer is going well. Yay for summer!
