A Beautiful Week

What a wonderful week, that began with seeing deer beside our lane. Nature enhances the beauty of our landscape, you can't improve on that.

Speaking of landscape, construction at the office was in full swing. I decided I wanted the front of the office to look natural not manicured, and contracted the 'rock whisper' . This man looks at a rock and knows instinctively where it should belong. He was done at the end of the week! One can always tell when people love their work, it shows up as a masterpiece.


My son was very happy to have his friend from China visit for the week. It had been over a year since they played together. They went to a canoe camp, although it rained on the last day, I think they enjoyed just hanging out together.

It was great having another boy around the house who is similar in nature but with enough difference to make it interesting. I think the reason they get along is that they are both Sagittarius, born one year and one day apart. Sadly, the friend is leaving back to Shanghai and they'll have to make do with email for another year.


I ended my week with a nice dinner at Siam Kitchen with my friend who was in town on business. We had a wonderful discussion on family, spirituality, and books, I always love hearing about what is happening in people's lives and the books they read.

Getting together with friends is important especially if these visits are rare because they live in another part of the world. Often you can just pick up where you left off as though the time apart was only a figment of your mind. Keeping connected electronically will suffice, but nothing, nothing, will ever take the place of person to person visits of that I'm sure.
