Celebrating Good Times

          Celebrating with Ruth Ayres at Discover Play Build.  and connecting with others who share their celebrations, too. It's fun to see the week through these eyes, finding what is wonderful each day.  

         My son, daughter-in-law are here this weekend, but spending the day with friends today so I have time to write. The good to celebrate this week including fun, family, a surprise book and lovely flowers blooming in my garden. I'm writing every day, and enjoying that, too. I hope you're having a great holiday weekend however you spend this particular time. 

Found at the bookstore, a surprise story of a mouse
and her survival from the poet Wendell Berry, whose
poetry I love, but didn't know about this lovely story.

Imogene and I went to our museum of nature and science
to experience the robot exhibition. Below shows her
built robot. She is guiding it by keeping her hand close.
I was amazed that she figured it out, needing certain parts,
like a battery and a transformer, she used the pictures
given to construct it. This and other hands-on parts were
amazing. She and I even played tic tac toe with a robot!

new lily blooms, a darker pink this time

Nathan, Barb & Carter. Carter is finally taller than his
mom. We had fun yesterday at Ikea, and eating at a
favorite Mexican restaurant with other friends. I'll
miss them when they leave Monday, but feel fortunate
that they can come so often.
