Making Yogurt, Writing Blogs, and so on….

Happy Sabbath, friends! Hope your day has been both restful and peaceful....

just came across Mary's blog and I am shamelessly stealing the quote she has posted at the tippy-top for all to see. It's from Frederick Buechner's A Sacred Journey. Mary, I think, is a kindred spirit. I agree that Buechner's quote captures a good explanation of why I blog, too:

"What I propose to do now is to try listening to my life as a whole, or at least to certain key moments of the first half of my life thus far, for whatever of meaning, of holiness, of God, there may be to hear. My assumption is that the story of any one of us is in some measure the story of us all. For the reader, I suppose, it is like looking through someone else's photograph album. What holds you, if nothing else, is the possibility that somewhere among all those shots of people you never knew and places you never saw, you may come across something or someone you recognize. In fact - far more curious things have happened - even in a stranger's album, there is always the possibility that as the pages flip by, on one of them you may even catch a glimpse of yourself. Even if both of those fail, there is still a third possibility which is perhaps the happiest of them all, and that is that once I have put away my album for good, you may in the privacy of the heart take out the album of your own life and search it for the people and places you have loved and learned from yourself, and for those moments in the past - many of them half forgotten - through which you glimpsed, however dimly and fleetingly, the sacredness of your own journey."

ere’s a great shot of Matt spinning the lid on our new yogurt maker. (Cute, isn’t he?)We found the homemade yogurt makes pretty decent smoothies, but we couldn’t quite stomach the macaroni and cheese made from a spaghetti squash! We did fine Darlene’s apple crisp darn good, though! The SCD saga continues…

inally, I’m enjoying Elvie Studio today. You should stop by, too! $40 for Letter Lab…. wonder if I have the time and discipline to do it??

Well – good night, folks. Blessings -
