Simplicity in a complicated world

The perfect view from a house around the corner
and here we are trespassing in our PJ's with not a care in the world!!!

Li swinging

and poor Mom with the fractured arm!!!!

But what I am really thinking about tonight, and so many many of my days, is that I love love to live simply. I strive to live simply everyday, however, technology often wins out.I find great peace in simplicity and I know that children do as well. Li and all the children that come head straight for the homemade rope swing and do not take any notice of the wood and plastic swing set in the yard. There is something about a rope swing daggling from an oak tree that just beckons you to enjoy. So I am making a concerted effort to blog about the small simple things that I enjoy.

Matthew caught the first and only fish from our little creek last weekend. I was just getting ready to get in the shower, when I glanced outside and saw him reeling in a fish. I screamed like a crazy person and ran out in my PJ's to get a glimpse at it. I was so excited. Then came the kyack trip. Michael & Bruce took Jerry with Li then Kevin from the back yard to the harbor. Michael has gained enough confidence to go in his own kyack. It is so beautiful out there. And my last simple blessing came when me, Micheal, Jeannie and Jerry got into the golf cart around 7 or 8-pm and drove over to a house that is being built around the corner. I wanted them to experience the amazing view from the yard. we grabbed blankets and crept around to the back of the house and sat star gazing. Jerry took the pictures and captured it so well with the bridge against the dark sky.....
