Time Capsule

Just for today...
Steven's in El Salvador, Kerry's on the golf course, Emily's in the other room, Thomas and Adam are in Utah, Veronica's in Kentucky, and Marisa is in Cincinnati.
Just for today...
I went on a bike ride around Rose Pond, got lunch at Rupe's for Emily & I, and I'm washing some sheets and pillowcases for the Scharf's and Thomas & Caley to arrive tonight.  I've also been switching sprinklers around the yard all day.  The mailbox had the usual bills and ads, and a card from one of our children thanking us for being good parents.
Just for today...
I am a grandma to one perfect granddaughter, a mother in law to 3 of the best people I could have ever hoped for my children to marry, a wife of 32 years, a great aunt to 8, and 3 out of 4 of our parents are living.  I have never seen the Atlantic Ocean.
I haven't been to Canada for 32 years.
I have run 7 marathons and one half-marathon.
I played drawing games and word games with Veronica and Adam.  Just like when they were little, except there weren't smart phones, just smart kids.
Just for today, Friday the 13th, that's how it's going so far.  Tomorrow, will be almost the same.
10 years ago we were just finishing up our Martin's Cove Trek and getting ready for Adam to come home from his mission.
10 years from now...Kerry and I will be in our 60's and I will have more than one perfect granddaughter, and that's all I know for sure.
