Everybody loves me

Conversation with a 3 1/2 year old:

Sofia: "Everybody loves me because I'm the sweetest."

Mom: "and humble too."

Sofia: "who's Humble?"

Life and Sweets

 "Life is Short. Eat desserts!"

Time to go Home

Time to pack up and go home. It's been so nice to spend time with Sofia and her mom and dad. I was able to keep Sofia home from school yesterday so we had a whole day to play one last time. I've got a busy week ahead of me with a lot of family gatherings and my cousin Pati visiting from Vermont. So one adventure ends and another begins. Can't wait til I see Sofia again whenever that may be.

A Film Festival Screening at SMU

The stormy morning yesterday cleared by Late afternoon as I walked to Dallas Hall on the SMU campus where the film festival was screening "Soufra". The stately buildings on campus looked so pretty as Day became night.

 
 
 

 

 

 


 

 

 

Writing A Letter

 "How wonderful it is to be able to write someone a letter.  To feel like you are
conveying your thoughts to a person, to sit at your desk and pick up a pen, to put your
thoughts into words like this is truly marvelous." -Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
