generously

 

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, 

who gives generously to all without finding fault, 

and it will be given to him.

James 1:5

first

Last Saturday, I attended an outdoor tea party. 

It was the first outdoor tea party I've been to in January in the northern hemisphere.

When we started, the sun was cheery, and it almost felt reasonable to be outside for a tea party.

By the time we finished, the wind was whipping past our ears and we were wrapped in blankets.

Upon returning home, I promptly brewed a cup of tea to bring myself back to room temperature!

Ready

I'm ready to get out on the trail to give my new water bottle-- a customized birthday gift from Naomi-- an opportunity to shine (read: not leak in my hiking bag).

 

#remoteoffice

Best Buy curbside pickup to the rescue when you need a cord to get your new computer to talk with your jumbotron.

The coworks and I have recently entered our eleventh continuous month of working remotely!

I love having a private office with a window and a door.

pizza

Sharon and I had pizza night Friday. 

I may have been too proud of this golden beauty:

homemade crust

Libby's homemade bbq sauce

chicken

red onion

cheese

and a sprinkling of dried basil for good measure
