An ending. J played basketball this winter. The coach would play J only about five minutes of every one hour game despite the "rule" that all kids were to play at least half the game.
I'm not sure if you can see in this picture the "end" of a kid's love of the game, but I can. I think this is his last season. And I'm sad to see it end on this note.
Both an ending and a beginning. A couple of weeks ago, my sister and I attended the graveside service for our cousin's husband. We were glad we could spend time with these relatives. It was a nice service. I had originally intended to title this "An ending" but I realized that although it is a mortal ending, it is for him the beginning of the life after this.
A nice Valentine's Day. These were Valentine's flowers from my thoughtful husband.
Beautiful flowers and in my favorite colors, of course!
A beginning. We started a new family tradition--really we revived an old tradition from my childhood. We woke T up early on his birthday, sang "Happy Birthday" to him and let him open his presents. I always felt it started a birthday off on a celebratory note and it was probably the only day of the school year when I was actually early for the bus. :o)
A piano recital. J and T are pictured here with their piano teacher. They had a recital last night and they did just great, as did all the performers. Way to go! I was proud of how well J and L performed. And they have a great piano teacher!
New Beginnings. New Beginnings is tonight for the Young Women and I need to write my talk for that. The talk is about the changes to the personal progress program.
Another beginning. I've added a new item to the blog (see above, right) and it is a link to goodreads.com where I list the books I've read, the books I'm reading and the books I want to read. I will admit that some books--the ones I dislike for one reason or another or that I can't recommend for some reason--sometimes don't make it onto the list at all. One of the things I originally wanted to include on this blog had been some kind of reference to the books I'm reading. I'd done that sporadically in the past but I think this will "do the job." For those who care at all, let me know if this widget works properly. Thanks.
