Quiet

Today, Saturday, began as any other... waterwalking at the Y and a quick stop at the dump. Then laundry, eating, post office... Yaddah, Yaddah, Yaddah. Then... almost magically at 4:44 John left to go to a friend's for dinner. Teddie, Josh and Theo had left at 11:00 am to go to Boston and are still not home at 8:20 pm. I have had almost four hours of COMPLETE SILENCE. Only the wind blowing the trees. Just in time, too, because I had to write a talk for church tomorrow. I started at 3:00 and just finished. This is a record for me. Usually I'm up at 5 am the day of the talk wringing my hands, frantically scribbling. If I can figure out how to cut and paste the talk I'll try to post it. I mentioned Ted, Theo, Evelyn, and Grammy in it!!!

Silence is good if you don't make a steady diet of it. Enjoy the converstions over the tele, appreciate the blogs, but waiting for the visits. I hear that Theo and Evelyn are all packed ready to travel with Lalee. Or was that just a dream?
