Nearly half way through Lent... things to ponder, suddenly

Finally little things are in order:

1. new camera memory card

2. my main computer had malware that Mr. Husband removed

and I can use it again

3. I ordered some key things for something I am making

for Mr. Husband's Birthday...

It's been a sunny week and I am so blessed by this.

Cleo's been liking it too!

Today I get to go to the store...

I am doing my big grocery run for everything

for now and for Pascha...
I hope to start baking (and freezing) for this 

next week!

I love my little kids section...

just wish that I knew kids that are local;

the ones I did know moved way...

but I have hope for this summer at any rate...

So I was talking to Mr. Husband about

a blog post that I am not quite done yet,

about how I love ordinary days best.

And he said, 

well, you like ordinary days as someone in 

the solid middle class.

and over breakfast I read the lead article in the 

Calvin Spark, Calvin being 

where I began my undergraduate education.

And I read about how there are tons of kids

in high school who are homeless.

And I watched the trailer for the film about it.

And what about the babies?

All over the world, abandoned.

I finished, finally, the book

Remains of the Day

and towards the end of the book

a peripheral but yet important character, a doctor,

says that most people just want to live a quiet life and 

be left alone;

these things together, 

the desire of many to just live quietly, and yet,

the poor, the homeless, the children...

well, they give much to think about and wonder.

I don't have any conclusion other than

Lord have mercy....
