The wedding in Fargo

Laura and Ben's wedding.
The ten High School Friends together again.

Still crazy after all these years

Cuttin' a rug

whip lash?

Morgan's idiom references had me rolling:
"Sure hoping you don't have 'fish to fry.'"
"Goodnight!"  Wink.  

Hilarious.

Auntie and Niece reunion

As Robert would say, "Mother and child reunion."
Danielley is the aunt - not the mother - meeting her beautiful niece for the
first time.

Deadwood or bust!
Good times in South Dakota, Sept 2013.  

Who knows where Morgan is.
Probably on the Red Slide.

At the risk of neglecting MJ & Isaiah Robert,

Danielle is bonding with her niece.

Saddle up, Partner.  I've got these reins.  

Clearing brain clutter

Jennifer Fulwiler of Conversion Diary fame, wrote the most insightful article - The Mental Neat Freak - on the varying activities that reboot mental stability.  She was flummoxed and dismayed that two hours getting a massage or haircut did not calm her in the long run.  Short term, yes, the activity was fun and enjoyable.  But she discovered, after some introspection, that writing and reading are the activities that center her knowledge that "All is Well."  It's fun and productive to figure out what settles the soul.

For me, biking and quiet contemplation, do the deed.  I am an idea person, so time to ponder and wander is crucial for a sense of peace.  As extroverted as I am by nature, renewal comes with the balance between people interaction and time with the still, small Voice.
