…taking some time to reflect upon my week
:: squam…oh, squam
:: porter’s lodge {cabin}…heather, aleece, tisha, melinda {mates}…kisses {to my cabin mates and all the lovely souls with whom i shared these fall squam days}
:: roadtrip
:: coming home to my little family…hugs, kisses…questions from the kids, trying to understand exactly what it was i was doing in those woods by the lake
:: both kids not feeling well this week {though they’ve improved by week’s end}…the first night of being sick, my poor little daughter vomited a few times…i will never forget two things: my husband cleaning the bathroom floor and {later that night} my husband sitting on the bathroom floor, leaning against the wall with my daughter’s limp, tired, pathetic body curled against his…i was not happy that she was feeling so poorly, but i was happy she was in the arms of her daddy
:: fantastically gorgeous weather
:: adjusting to the fact that there is no glorious salad bar awaiting me at each mealtime…no table of sweet desserts…now it falls to me…which i don’t mind, but it was *so* nice to be fed so well by someone else
:: sinking into familiar rhythms and comfortable spaces
i am hoping you enjoyed special moments in your week. as always, i love to hear from you…
sending a little love your way, m

nice picture,,,,,,,,,,
You blog is beautiful–the words; the pictures; the feelings–all beautiful!
Michelle, such a delight, this & the previous post about Squam. Both the words & photographs evoke such a deep response that I’m still unable to unravel. There are thoughts & ideas, memories that buzz so rapidly through my head I am unable to grasp even just one of them without having the next one whiz by and shift my focus in a completely different direction! I love these reflections as it allows me to calm some of those swirling thoughts and sit quietly fully focused on all that I was so blessed to experience there at one of Mother Natures true wonderlands! The people (you) sights, sounds, feelings, will forever hold a special place in my heart! Thank you for calming thoughts & sharing your heart!
you all…all of you…make my heart feel so very full.
so happy to have connected with you by the lake…i will be visiting here regularly. xo
I am glad your children are now feeling better, it is just awful to see our little ones, or bigger ones, feeling unwell.
My little ones are mostly grown but I still hate to see them sick. One has left for his second year of uni today, the house already feels a little emptier.
Have a wonderful weekend, I hope your children keep getting better.

I am not sure how I clicked my way here, but no matter, I am happy to have landed here. I don’t think we met, but I sure wish we did. Your visions and words for Squam in your posts are lovely and similar to the gladness I hold for myself and my own experience there…perhaps we will meet at a future squam one day :).
warmth and wellness to your babes…
I love how you appreciate everything the day gives xxxxxx I love you noticing the little things and reminding me they exist xx thank you..emma
I do hope your family is feeling much better now. Not fun. I, too love when I do not have to menu plan or cook-it’s a big treat, isn’t it
It’s official, my “tender” hormones are raging…more tears while reading this post.
Glad your littles are feeling better. ;)
Oh no, seems like so many of our families are feeling under the weather. Wishing your family a healthy and happy weekend!

Sorry your babies were sick, but glad to hear they are better now.
Oh yes, it would be nice to walk into the kitchen and have a large salad
bar to pick from instead of having to chop everything myself. ;) Oh, one
can dream.
