Skating away on the thin ice of a new day

The combination of my blog talking about the violence in Columbia, and reading Mr. Hellmann's blog about AIDS in Africa, I'm thinking of joyful things to blog about:

1. I just bought new snow boots that make me look like an extra in every Cold War spy movie ever made.

2. We found out our puppy has ten new brothers and sisters. And, no, none will be coming home with us.

3. Only six of the directories have pages from another church in them, which only proves how sad ours could have looked. Ouch!

4. I caught up with a college friend this afternoon and we were discussing how her 16-month-old has to sleep in the dining room until they finish his room. Sadly, a big-boy bed will not fit, so things will be difficult once sleep-overs start. I plan to donate to his therapy fund.

5. Bedtime. Bedtime is joyful.
