a week in ten moments


me, looking up at mosaic work in the St. Louis Basilica

Whew! What a week! We can pack a lot in seven days, and I haven’t caught my breath yet.

Instead of the full saga, here’s our week in ten glimpses:

* Crepes again last Sunday, yum. My brother-in-law recommends Nutella + banana for the filling: Voila, the perfect crepe.

* Falling asleep to thunder and rain.

* Fighting off a sinus infection (or some kind of mystery virus) and almost winning ... so far.

* Absorbing the accents of our visiting Australian cousins, enjoying their stories and conversation… I could listen forever!

* Introducing those same cousins to some darn good St. Louis coffee. Drinking our Kaldi’s purchases on the grounds of Concordia Seminary.

* Chocolate chip + butterscotch cookies hot from the oven.

* Reworking my writing plans: I’ll begin drafting Part Three on May 18, if we all keep our fingers crossed!

* Frosty mugs of Fitz’s root beer, shared with cousins, aunts, uncles… (more accents)

* Touring the St. Louis Basilica with our family… It’s absolutely gorgeous. I felt like I was in Europe…


i got dizzy after a while, staring up at the ceilings, turning around and around so i wouldn’t miss a thing…

* And would a week be complete without a bit of knitting? I’m replacing cardboard coffee sleeves with homemade knitted ones!


my three most recent creations…

Lovely. It’s like a sweater for my favorite hazelnut roast.—jl
