Turkeysplosion. Delicious.

What an awesome couple days it's been! I am here, celebrating Thanksgiving with the Langs- who are absolutely incredible. (I can't say I am surprised. I mean, they had a Beth! And she totally rocks!) Today is Bruce's 50th birthday extravaganza, so it's been a mad house of excitement- what with all the black friday grocery shopping, photo hunting and cooking goings on. :)

And while all of this has been fabulous- I GOT TO SEE PEGGY!!!! Finally- and it's definitely been at least five years since I have seen any of them, let alone Peg and Tim together, along with the new arrival of Claire Bear, my new baby sister. (She's about six months.) They live in my dream house. Tristan and I actually missed the turn in to the house because I was gawking and swooning- it's so stunning. These huge victorian window panels, a tall strong front door- a gorgeous porch, high ceilings, beautiful wood banisters- I could go on for days. It may even be three stories? We are planning on returning home Sunday afternoon, working Monday (and of course visiting with kittens) and then shooting right back up here a few days with Peg and Tim. I am planning on bringing some art supplies! Lots of creative flow in that venue- good place to work on jewelry.

I am feeling so wonderfully tranquil about so many things. What a glorious season of healing God has bestowed me. I am going to begin delegating a few minutes each day to trying to capture the essence of how to heal with God- I feel as if that is a very depthful subject, that often becomes shallow and hollow in one's writing, with many terms that get thrown about which are left with the reader, ultimately unexplained. It's difficult to explain how to "give your troubles to the Lord", but I am planning on letting God's voice breathe in to me. I am praying for the best! (If it's from Him, that's really what it is.)

So long!
