back in chi-town

I should have grabbed my camera card before I sat down. Maybe later. I have lots of cute pictures to upload of the girls and their cousins from our recent trip to Kansas. The trip went well despite the fact that we went for a sad reason. More than sad. I had hoped to spend more time reminiscing with friends about our loss and about the happy times, but it was not to be… We did spend a lot of time with my brother and his wife, which is always fun, and this trip was a particular comfort.

This evening we worked on the flower garden, replacing the fabric and wood chips. We got 3 bushes and I had purchased 4 kinds of flowers earlier in the day.

Tomorrow I am taking the girls to my classroom to finish cleaning it and checking out for summer. I hope they are good. If so, we’ll play on the playground a while. Guess that’s about it.

Seems I make it through the day alright, but then when I sit down to reflect, all the problems I have seem small in comparison to what Maria’s family is going through. It saddens me.
