“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to the stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear on cheerfully, do all bravely, awaiting occasions, worry never; in a word, to, like the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.” ~ William Henry Channing

Someone had to do it



Yesterday Patrick and Isidore attended opening day at the Oakland A's stadium. This left Aliana, Elizabeth and I with a free night at home. So, you see, we cleary had to stop by the grocery store for potato chips, ice cream and junky pizza. After stuffing ourselves silly we played Twister. Probably should have reversed the order of those two activities. We finished up our estrogen evening by climbing in bed to cuddle up and read aloud from Bridge to Terabithia until my voice faded. Happy hens we were!
