November 27
~Busiest Travel Day of the Year~
Thankful for safety on the road, bright skies, fluffy clouds,
my husband who drove the whole way, both directions, this trip
(this is secret code for: I spent a LOT of hours napping in the car),
and time with family!
November 26
Treasuring time with Gram and Grantch watching home videos of my BABIES!!
Probably best we don't count the hours we spent in front of this television...

~Peaceful in the Pasture~
Look in the back left corner.
If you use your superhero vision, you might spot the new Momma and her calf.
She is encouraging him to get up and take a few steps.
She even let us get close enough for Scott to pet her baby.
Too bad I'd handed over the camera to him at that point...
can't be my photo of the day!

Oh, what a beautiful morning!
It was worth being up early to be greeted by this...
and to get on the road to Tennessee!

~Surprised and grateful for this outpouring of love~
Beautiful flowers...yummy treats...fun tote bags...relaxing bath salts...love notes
But the video of the kids telling me good-bye.. well, that one got me...
"Look at her face...she's crying!"
yep...she was crying alright..
Thank you, God for the opportunity to be part of the Benfield family.

November 9
So it's kinda hard to see how marvelous the moon was as it began it's ascent...
Didn't even try to capture it's exquisite beauty hanging in the black sky with Jupiter shining brightly to the right. But trust me....it was glorious!
November 8
Sitting at the kitchen table...grading a very high stack of papers...
running hard this last leg of the race...feeling weary...and emotional...
(Happy to finish the job or sad to leave kids and co-workers I've grown to love?)
Look up and am greeted by this gentle, sweet reminder.
November 6
'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise

Such a sweet blessing getting to worship with these beautiful, talented ladies
(and another equally beautiful, talented lady who joined us last night)!

Happiness is...
finding a big pile of costumes on the floor.
I know how much my big girl dancer loves coming home to a cute little dancer.
And what's better than helping that cute little dancer play dress up?
