this week has been good.  just down right GOOD.

jolie came into town from portland to play with us in prep for her Jeopardy! audition, which she totally aced.  she knitted while kids climbed all over her, G instantly adopted her as her new best friend forever.  having her here was a total gift for me, so grateful for amazing women in my life.  if you get the opportunity, ask jolie to tell you a few stories of her life. she is funny, intuitive, kind, wicked smart and completely truthful. she should be a professional story teller, to go along with being a professional artist.

this week was also full of warmth, both outside as spring began to peek out and our trampoline got some much needed lovings. as well as inside, in my now working oven.
