It sure feels like Summer here in South Carolina!

What a wonderful day we had yesterday!

Eastin, Russ, Miller and I took out Uncle Hal's pontoon.
Eastin wanted to go tubing... Last year she tried and cried the whole time.
This year was much better!

We also went by party island... talk about bringing back memories...
ohhhhhhhhhh the good times I've had there :)
The boats start off pulling onto the shore of the island and then there is no more shoreline left and the boats end up tying up to one another and making a floating party!

It sure feels like Summer already, one more week of school... two weeks planned at the beach with family, Eastin is going to High School Musical Camp, I've been volunteering along with sewing, planting a garden, working on our lack of landscaping. It is going to be a busy but full of memory making moments!

After all.. isn't that what life is about?? Good memories that make you smile, even on the gloomiest of days??

my life has come full circle

My life has come full circle and I will be posting again soon :)
I needed to take a break for a while

until my next post, I wanted to share:

T.S. Eliot, from Four Quartets,

What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning É
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And to know the place for the first time.


Benediction by Black Elk, Oglala Sioux
Everything the 'power of the world' does in done in circles.
The sky is round and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball,
and so are the stars.
The wind, in its greatest power whirls.
Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours.
The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle.
Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come
back again to where they were.
Life is a circle from childhood to childhood.
And so it is in everything where power moves.
