I can't sleep. Thoughts race through my mind. A cup of tea might help. Mmmmm.
Good Easter Morning! Of course, it's an odd hour, but worth greeting. The wind is beating against our windows reminding us of God's power and strength. My cat just attempted to jump on my lap reminding me of her power and strength...or lack there of at the ripe old age of fifteen! I seem to relate to my cat better sometimes. I'm tired,too.
How tired Jesus must have been, hanging on the cross. I can't imagine.
I can't imagine the anguish and burden of everything that led up to His ultimate sacrifice. I don't have bible verses or amazing speeches. I am just filled with awe.
I am filled with amazing grace!
God bless you all! HAPPY EASTER!!!

Weekend Get Away
Good morning! I am slowly waking up. I have my morning cocktail of Breathe Easy tea warming my belly and coating my throat. Tim and I have both been fighting the "crud". Other than a hospital stay for Kay, she seems to be the healthy one around here. Funny, isn't it? We are blessed with her ability to bounce back and stay healthy.
Tim and Kay had quality time together this past weekend. I went to Vashon island with my Aunt for an art workshop. What a hoot! The first day we collected leaves, branches, bark, etc. and pressed images using five different colors. My neck ached from bending over and looking down. The second day was making a collage with the prints. I have to say...I was pleased with my finished piece of art. It felt good to be artsy fartsy! You can view some pieces at www.briggs.typepad.com/workshop One of my creations was May '07. It's the one with the simple green leaf print in the middle.
We stayed at the Betty MacDonald Farm, established in 1949. Betty MacDonald is the NW author of "The Egg and I". Have you seen the movie or read the book? If you ever want to get away...check this place out. There is a fully furnished, cozy, quaint cottage with views of Mt. Rainier and eagles in the trees. I guess you could say it's rustic. Creaky floors, wood stove, fresh eggs (you cook) in the morning, claw foot tub, books, games, you name it. Don't count on room service but once you're in you feel like you could stay in your PJs forever! Movie in, hot cocoa, feet up....aaah. Sleepy time. We only stayed one night, but it felt like I had been away for days. http://www.bettymacdonaldfarm.com/
Anywhoo, it was good to get away and good to get home. Tim and Kay survived without me. Sometimes it's a nice reminder to get over myself. The grass was mowed, the lavender pruned, laundry cleaned, cat fed...smiles all around. Thank you, Tim!

Confusion
It's quiet now. It wasn't when Tim was ushering Kay to the bathroom. He's sleeping with her and I'm on the couch. Well, I was. She is very confused. She is confused about wearing her pink slippers. She is confused about how to walk from carpet to a hard wood surface. It's kind of cute, really. Like a show pony, she lifts her knee high and steps over the line. I mean that with the utmost respect!
She is confused about sitting on a porcelain bowl filled with water. She is confused.
Let's just see how confused she is later this morning when toasted English muffins are adorned with egg and crab! I think Kay will rise to the occasion.
Signing out and back to the couch I go...
