On Thursday I deep cleaned the house, baked a pie and made some eggplant rollatini. I found this note Mary wrote to Lydia while I cleaned:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It says, “Dear Lydia Wiye (why) Do You Read So Much!!!”<\/p>\n

Sometimes Mary gets really frustrated when Lydia reads and doesn’t want to play. I thought it was an adorable note.<\/p>\n

At 4:30 Abe came home so we could go to Sundance for the night to celebrate our anniversary. Tom and Suzanne were so sweet and spent the night and babysat the kids so we could get away.<\/p>\n

On the way we stopped at Harmon’s and picked up stuff for our Friday picnic, and then we drove to the Tree Room at Sundance.<\/p>\n

They don’t allow you to take pictures in the Tree Room, but it was such wonderful ambiance. We got to snuggle at a “booth” that was so incredibly comfortable. The food was seriously too rich, but we still ate almost all of it.<\/p>\n

We were so delighted by our Sundance Cabin called “Lower Hollow.” Abe took some pictures:

<\/p>\n

We binge watched Game of Thrones and spent an hour in the outdoor hot tub breathing the clean mountain air.<\/p>\n

We also gave each other gifts. I always give Abe audio books for our anniversary, and he always gives me jewelry and a poem. This year I gave him David Brooks’\u00a0The Second Mountain<\/em> and Bill Clinton’s new mystery thriller.<\/p>\n

He gave me this necklace of a kite, and this poem:<\/p>\n

My Kite<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You are my kite<\/p>\n

Soaring through sky<\/p>\n

Heavenward gusts<\/p>\n

Calling you high<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I feel your tug<\/p>\n

To let out more string<\/p>\n

The wind has caught<\/p>\n

The wind is king<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It once caused pain<\/p>\n

The string unreeling<\/p>\n

Your heart from me<\/p>\n

The sky seemingly stealing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But there are some things<\/p>\n

I have come to learn<\/p>\n

Though you can seem far<\/p>\n

You always return<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trailing clouds<\/p>\n

As I\u2019m gleefully winding<\/p>\n

The string never fails<\/p>\n

Near or far, it is binding<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reunited, deeper, closer<\/p>\n

You help me to see<\/p>\n

The things that you saw<\/p>\n

And you whisper to me<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The gift of our love<\/p>\n

Enables my flight<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I whisper back<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We honor that love<\/p>\n

When you fly with your might<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will my sweet love<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But tonight I\u2019m with you<\/p>\n

And tomorrow you\u2019re the kite<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
