Pentecost

I had hoped selenite could take the kids to church today, even though I can't go. I've missed most of Easter season and now I'm missing Pentecost. But he hurt his back yesterday, and didn't think he felt up to juggling both kids - and Jamie can get a bit rambunctious or need a lot of holding and carrying in church.

Fortunately, we got a call from the kids' godparents today, wanting to know if they could come pick up Maggie and take her to the 11 am service - because her godbrother Joshua is being confirmed today. I hadn't realized he was in this confirmation class. Well, I've missed a lot this spring. I thought this was wonderful. Karl got her bathed quickly, we dug out her black and red dress, and she eagerly went with them.

It was nice to see them and say hi. I've missed everyone. I hope I can go back soon.

Bujold in my life

selenite was quoting a bit he likes from A Civil Campaign to me earlier:

Yes, and why hadn’t he thought of poetry? Besides the obvious reason of his absence of talent in that direction. He wondered if she’d like to read a really clever combat-drop mission plan, instead.

To which my reply was "yes, dear, I'll proofread your war gaming article soon, really I will!

My beloved *does* give me clever combat-drop mission plans to read.
