Update

 

Thursday afternoon, Brandon and daughter Nova, picked me up. I still can't drive till next week. They had asked me to come for the afternoon and evening. They live in the cutest house, where every inch has something beautiful growing. I call Courtney "Mother Earth" because in the 9 years they have lived there, she has planted and learned so much. She knows which plants do what. And they live partly on their own fruit, vegetables, eggs, honey and more. I did take a few pictures of Brandon's rescue cockatiel, Mango.

He was in bad shape when they got him, but with care and feeding every four hours, the bird has a long life ahead in #sokugarden, a little heaven.

 

 

 

 

Back in the day ... 

It is my habit from childhood, not to get excited until the actual event happens, as cancellations happened often back then and I learned.

My Dad never made promises, ever.

And so, he never broke a promise.

Mom gave possibilities and some promises.

Do you remember being a kid when time stood still? When the event seemed to be eons away?

And, if you could get it to be moved sooner,  you'd try?

 

I was thinking about that today, as a very grown adult. I learned it as a kid, but it's still true.

You learn who makes soft promises. They teach you. With good intentions, they promise, 

but you have learned over time, that something more important may come up.

So you don't let 100% of your heart believe, 

so it won't hurt if it falls through.

                                  Very childlike indeed.
