Watch Out!

Last night I had a confrontation with a "black icy" driveway. Thankfully, no one saw it happen, but it took me about five minutes to realize I was okay, gather my purse, my books, and my dignity and get back up. The only casualties are a bruised self-image of my gracefulness, a slightly stiff neck, and the first skinned knee I've had in forty-some years. Sorry, Sam Bernstein. You won't be getting a call from me.

P.S. I just read in Ron's blog comments that Joyce had the same fate be"fall" her! I hope you're okay, Joyce.

Yawwwnnn!

Every one of my students yesterday was sleepy. Was it my teaching? Too much playing in the snow? No bedtime guidelines? All of the above?

This morning I turned off the alarm at 5:10 and fell back asleep--waking up 20 minutes later than usual. What's my excuse?

Here's to a wide awake day today!

Epiphany

Epiphany - the last day for my leaning Christmas tree. I've enjoyed it this year. If it weren't losing its needles I'd be tempted to keep it up longer.

Epiphany - the 41st anniversary of our first date - Wednesday night chapel at Concordia in Ann Arbor in 1969.

Epiphany - the 25th anniversary of Tom's ordination into the pastoral ministry at St. John's, Waltz in 1985. If I'd thought of it earlier, I'd have scanned a picture---but then you'd see how much we've aged!

Happy Epiphany! Wise men still seek Him!
