"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

This is Promising:

Says E (yesterday evening): "Mom, usually I am frustrated with you every day, but today we have been at the Doctor's so long that I have only thought about them."

After lunch E had a chocolate from her advent calendar. M picked a candy from their Halloween bag.

Later, I found her - complete with chocolate face - mining for treasures in E's chocolate advent calendar.

When I told her that if E opened a door and didn't find a chocolate she got to have M's, she was very distressed.

I said: "M, did you eat E's treats?"

Says M: "Yes."

I guess she wants to know why that is a problem.

Today GQ made Dad miss his bus. He patted Justin's chair, made him sit down, and then lifted his arms to be held. Who could resist that?

We hear that back home in the Rocky's Cousin Annie also has strep and impetigo. Together in spirit!!!
