Blue Saturday

Saturday, July 9th, 2005

I have had a teary day. I really love having the house full of family – cooking, doing things together. It may not seem like it at the time, but it is so important to me. So today was my first day home alone and I felt really lonely and sad. Stevie was busy at church working on the youth building. It is getting a new roof and will not longer leak and have mold so they removed the carpeting and painted today. Yesterday they removed the old roof.

I spent the day doing laundry – lots of sheets and towels and making a birthday postcard for my sister, Jean. Her birthday is next Tuesday. I pulled out some photos – all black and white and scanned them and printed them on fabric. Then I colored them with pens and pencils.

Steve and I went to Sonoma tonight to have dinner and walk around the plaza. It was a beautiful drive and a delicious meal. I feel better and full of gratitude for my life and my family,
