You know how sometimes you sort of vaguely notice things but don’t have a context for them? Like, Hmmmm…. whatever!
Well, we had one of those moments in Atlanta! According to the National Weather Service, attentive people from Tennessee, down into Georgia, did, indeed, notice an earthquake Saturday morning! For me, it was rather like my chair had learned the trembly, dance-like thing my muscles have been up to.
Just between us, it was already an unusual sort of weekend. It’s anniversary time. The Legendary Husband and I have been married for 35 years! He made it home from a road trip on Friday night. We’re shaking calendars and weather forecasts, looking for a suitable time to sit on a sidewalk – probably at Iberian Pig – and celebrate.
Frankly, we’re used to adjusting the date thing. In fact, we got married on a Thursday night, just before my first Columbia Seminary graduation, on Sunday. All the family was in town and it worked for our team of preacher-people, and student friends packing for big moves!
And, as you probably guessed from the photo, there are LOTS of things to catch up on around here. My #Legend painting is almost – though not quite – done. (At least that’s what she says!) There are books in the draft stage, and painting projects to finish, and wisdom cards in the works, as #Quickening concludes. And, yes… #Filters is about to begin!
Missing our kids on Mothers Day is on that list, too!
For this moment, though… a peek at my nearly-finished #Legend, and a few of her words, with huge thanks to the brilliant, miraculous Stella Mac… our writing coach, and – of course – my legendary self! When you get down to it, this stuff is more than a bit like an earthquake, too!
