one sweet day

one last sweet day at Rivendell. We are packing up to go on to the last phase – Tofino. Today was so sweet, visiting, making quiche, playing croquet, splashing by the river.
All the ideas and wonder of being here are hard to digest. I am not sure what I will bring home, I want to bring everything! We have ideas about how we want to rearrange furniture and make changes in our house. The most inspiring thing about being here, and especially yesterday at the pioneer’s house, I saw how ingenious people can be when they have to be. Its too easy to go to Rona or IKEA and just buy what we think we need. Instead I want to make stuff I need, or go without for a while, or find a way to really cherish what I have.
I have to rearrange the basement for my school, and I want to fix up my studio. I want to produce more art work and Mark has been so inspired by the music here. He wants to find a way to bring more music into our lives. So, there will be changes and things to think about. We are excited to be heading back soon, which is a really good sign.
