Susan, you've captured my heart with this. You're beautiful imagery reminds us that it is a joy to be alive and there are so many pleasures to gain from life's simplicity if we can but find them.

Thank you James. Yes, and I remember they weren't super big deals, just gatherings, everyone chipped in, no drama, just fun. I may be looking back with rose-colored glasses but I don't think so.
