A day for the ducks... and the best day of our lives...

Too bad today isn't as beautiful as yesterday. Yesterday was sunny with a high of 75 (for real)... and we enjoyed every minute of the day. As expected, we spent a lot of time on the front porch. Had a quick little picnic with our neighbor Matt (who we love). We put our faces in the sun, turned on some jams, and ate our leftovers from the dinner party we had with our neighbors the night before.

Then I took the lotus out for a special ride up to Goodale Park to meet Jason and Shannon and we had another picnic in the grass. We got to share nurse stories and laugh and roll around in the grass. It was good to catch up with those boys. They are two of the finest nurses I know.

I reconvened with Kelly in the afternoon and we biked up to have some margs and chips/salsa before the economics discussion. Jy joined to help us finish the margs, then we met up with Heather, Brian, and Greg for a lecture open to the public on the economic state of our country which was kind of interesting, kind of over my head. Lesson learned: keep everything local (banking especially).

After the lecture, we all met up with Patience and Jonny and visited the dube. It is a wonderful thing having that many people you care about sitting at the same table.

Today we woke up early and met Jy at the new house. The demolition work has been started and the house is stripped to the bare minimum. We got to walk through and hear about all the pending renovations. It is perfect. The overwhelming feelings of peace and joy and hope were profound. Our dreams are coming true!
