walking next to you...

the nap part is a sure sign of aging...at least that is what i am told much too often:) the past two weeks have been so long and this afternoon, i will be having much much desired nap and i think i am the only person who knows how truly excited i am about it. i just have these random little things going through my mind so i thought i would post them before i head into a hopefully deep nap time.

let me begin with someone i experienced two days ago. her name is annie and she is the daughter of  the pastor of restoration. it is a wonderful little place just down the street from augie's. she is beautiful. see photos below:)

she was not feeling picture happy but i really don't think it made a difference because she is just so lovely. i met her on sunday night and our initial meeting was not exactly smooth. she gave me this look and it said, "um, maybe just don't talk to me," so i didn't:) monday night was a different story. she came and sat down next to me...i was sitting at a little table in a little alley next to a red wall:) there was a concert taking place in that alley, a blind mandolin  and a jazz ensemble, and i was just waiting when her and her pop walked by. she stood and waited while he went to the car and a few minutes later she came and sat at the table with me. she just sat and smiled and sipped her apple juice, really small sips, because that was the good stuff:)

while the music was going, she just watched and it was wonderful. she seemed so in tune with what was taking place. her name is annie and she has red hair and lovely blue eyes and she is lovely:)

i bought another copy of a book  already own today. i enjoy it so very much. i bought the first copy a little while ago and it is just lovely. i saw it today and decided to buy a second copy just in case someone decides they want to borrow a copy. does that sound strange? it is not a habit, this is the first time i bought a second copy of a book but it seems so worth it because it is a lovely little piece. i like to think of it as a picture book for big people. 

this is it:
