Fidelity -- and Updates

 

'It's okay...these things happen.'

Fidelity, 1869

If you're wondering why I've been quiet...it's called flu, a birthday that got celebrated anyways, work -- and a series of dreary, rainy, bleary days we call "Michigan weather." (The Irish call it a "nice soft day.")

I'm grateful -- really, I am. We just don't get that much rain. But it's meant an uncertain work schedule for the Brick, out in the potato fields. (The trucks struggle to keep from getting stuck.) There are some good moments about it, too. Because the Brick didn't have to work, we had a full day out wandering, including a visit to the Goodwill 'bins' in Colorado Springs, as well as stops at Bargain Mart and a new one for us: Restaurant Depot. (Son #1 is a big fan of this place, since they sell large quantities of meat at lower prices.) 

Today it's back to work -- and listening to the rain. More than we've had for months -- maybe all year.
