three hours








Escaped. Just the two of us (and Lily-who could hardly believe we were finally moving at a pace faster than toddler), for three hours. The skiing and sites were amazing. I'm not a church-going gal, but reverence and grace are not hard to find out there skiing under the towering white pines and walls of ice. Gospel of nature.

Then I came home and listened to Patti Griffin's newest album "Downtown Church". (You can check it out, in its entirety, free, here, until January 26th). If track number two doesn't get you up and out of your pew dancing, I don't know what will. Iris and I rocked out all afternoon, then Grampy came in and showed us how to shake our knees and we were giggling too hard to dance anymore.

Nice. It looks colder there than here. You know I love Patty G - and whenever I hear her I think of my last visit with you in WI (Fall 2005) b/c one of her songs came on the radio one day when we were driving around. Something must have clicked for me at that moment - it's burned into my memory. I've been listening to her new CD too - I need to purchase it!
