so it was Thanksgiving today.  At Alyssia's.   There were 10 of us.  All ages.  All,  all,  each one of us,  totally different one to another  and  what i think of as i am back on the Hill in the dark…. how we are each of us,  different,  but how amazingly

compatible

we are.  Something truly to be thankful for.

    Grace~ Indeed! I dare to think that compatible is more important than sameness. Those curls are amazing!! Curls and braids, can’t get enough! xo

    she was drawing things for me. I would give anything for
    that hair. Mine is so so STRAIGHT and fine…
    She rarely has it loose like this and seeing her in this
    pic, there was a sense of the Girl she is becoming…
    child no longer, Girl becoming.

    P loves to draw, too … this past week a birthday cake card for her mom, who is turning 40 on the 30th … P’s hair is like yours, straight and so fine that it stood straight up in the air when she was little … but now, how Emrie and P have both moved from infant to baby to toddler to child to girlhood … how lucky we are to have them in our lives
