March 19

    We had our usual peaceful, scenic drive up to Jamie’s this afternoon to spend some lucky time with Noah and Ava. Cia drove us along the pleasantly winding roads while we talked on a variety of topics, and I think we were both looking forward to being with the kids.

    We picked up Ava first and then stopped at a famous local coffee shop, where we had refreshments and chatted a bit, and then drove back to Noah’s school and picked him up. On the ride home to Jaimie’s, we played a game called “The ABC’s of Gratitude”, which got the four of us thinking carefully about our very fortunate lives.

    Cia fixed a perfect dinner, and it looked like we all loved it, because it disappeared pretty quickly. We played a game while we ate, called “Two Truths, One Lie,” in which we tried to help people learn a little more about ourselves. Lots of smiles, lots of laughs.

How lucky I am to live a life like this!
