I honestly do not know how you do it, Glynn -- but you are amazing and generous in this weekly compilation. Thank you for including my post...I'm off to do some good Saturday morning reading!
ReplyDeleteLike Graceful -- I don't know how you do it, and I am glad you do. Your encouragement keeps me wanting to 'write better' -- and it reminds me that I am not alone, that we are connected through this space by the words and images we leave -- and we all leave a mark, we all have value to give, and receive.
ReplyDeleteThanks Glynn. Your generosity touches my heart.
Again I am honoured, blessed and encouraged to be counted among such gifted ones as these.

ReplyDeleteThis week...
The grapes are in and being processed in different ways according to their variety, etc.
I made three trips to the airport for drop-off and pick-up of friends that come to work and peter.
I put many labels onto newsletters for the wines being bottled and for the two tastings, five days total, coming up in the next two weeks. And took three boxes full of them off to the the post office.
My eldest, Sydney, has been working the harvest every day, with out a day off for quite a while.
Peter is now in indiana for wine and to visit his father.
He said there was good weather in chicago and indy, but it could change soon.
The rain and chilly weather has sure started here in the valley.
a fast week, indeed.
THanks for reading my blog and for including me in your list.
