"There's just no accounting for happiness, or the way it turns up like a prodigal who comes back to the dust at your feet having squandered a fortune far away." (Jane Kenyon)

Photo Opportunity


So, here I am at the toilet. Let me explain. I could feel that BLT rising up to revolt through my esophagus and throat little by little while we watched the Amazing Race, so I hovered in the doorway, waiting for the inevitable. And then when it was time, those sweet girls ran to my side, patting my back with "Poor Mom"s. And then I heard Mark, as he ran out of the room, "Hold on, honey!" I thought he was off for a sympathetic glass of water or a towel, but before I knew it, I saw a flash. So, here we have it, never to forget: Mom once again at the toilet and the girls, so genuinely concerned. As for Mark, I don't know if he wanted to capture the girls' empathy or if he just likes the view from that angle. Probably the latter.
