all the parts

the sparkling lake

there's a part of me that still feels as if i'm floating away on that sparkling lake, even though my feet are thoroughly planted back home, back in the usual swing of things.

there's a part of me that wishes i could see all of those beautiful squammers more often.  

& then there's the part of me that knows that it somehow it wouldn't be as special.





quiet 


there's a part of me that needs more time to find the words to explain it all.  

& there's that part of me that knows that they just might not come to the surface.

& then there's the part of me that wants to get it all out, to share in this space so i don't forget.  & so that you might make your way to the lake someday too.

& right now, that's the part that is whispering loudly in my ear, so loudly in fact, that i may just give in.  




moment of calm

so for now, you have these pictures.  simple snapshots that captured quiet moments.  


the hush of the in between...


words are to come.  all in due time.

it was seriously the best squam ever.  really & truly.  

all of me is incredibly thankful that i got to be a part of it.

8 things for today.

the gang is off to the beach

*  *  *

today.  i realized that it's been a while since my last {8 things}.  so here it goes...  


today.  
i turn 32.  my mom always tells the story about how she had to get the doctor off of the softball field to deliver me.  apparently, he was the pitcher in the middle of a tournament and was not too thrilled about this baby who was ready to come into the world two weeks early! 

today. 
honestly, i am not feeling particularly festive due to the weather and my knee.  neither of those rascally things are cooperating!  the weather is rainy, dark and cool.  my knee is swollen, sore and covered in an ugly new rash.  (i see the doc tomorrow, so i'm trying not to worry)  

today. 
i declare that official birthday celebrations will take place this weekend instead!  

today.   
we are heading to ithaca this week for my husband's thesis defense!  on friday, he'll earn his PhD and will no longer be a grad student!  hooray!  i think we'll end up here for a celebratory/belated birthday dinner.  

today. 
{day one} of twodaysinjuly is here!

today.  
sending birthday wishes to stephanie!  have you seen her latest venture called kitchen sketches?  she is such a sweet and talented superwoman!   i'm not sure how she does it all, she continues to amaze & inspire me with all of her projects and adventures~  happy birthday to you, dear stephanie!  

today.  
i'm loving this old photograph of my grandmother.  my mom is the little girl on the left, she's shown here with her two cousins, and my uncle (on the bike).  the infamous family dog called "skid" is leading the way, heading off to the beach for the day with the kids.  growing up, my summers always included days like that too.  i feel very lucky for those special days on the cape.  

today.  
i am heading into my 32nd year.  looking forward to seeing what it has to offer!
