Do You Have Beauty?

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Sunday my daughter/husband and 2 boys (4 & 6) came over for dinner. We took a hike in the backyard/woods. The property butting against ours is owned by an Alpaca farm. I had contacted the owner to see if we could go exploring to see the alpacas. The land is posted so I didn't want to intrude. The owner was out of town, I had called her cell #. She told me sure, go ahead. Mostly its posted so kids don't party there.

"J" and "B" said they look kinda like a llama and kinda like a sheep. Smart kids

I made roast "beast", treetops (broccolli), smashed potatoes. "W" brought a beautiful fruit pizza for dessert. As my family was pulling out of the driveway "B" (who is 6) said "I don't think Oma understands what a good cook she is. Someone should tell her."

A week later, I'm still smiling. :-)
