Crowded around my small old table makes it easier to chat.

Little bottles have been ordered...and jars are shaken every day for a month.

Oh this post made me smile,laugh,and cry. It's all horribly horribly hard and all the stronger and wiser and better must be at the end of our rainbows. But i believe it all, too. It's just hard to live it!
