Smoothing out the wrinkles, A favorite smell, My island runneth over

1. Chelsea brought all of us a Dead Sea mud facial. We girls line up at the bathroom mirror, applying the blue goop to our skin while Steve and Chad run for the camera.
2. The beeswax releases a soothing aroma as it is melted over the candle flame.
3. Each family places a covered dish on the kitchen island and it is soon laden with a feast of good things to sample.

Oh, it sounds like a wonderful family type of gathering. Am I right?

The facials were family, Marie. But the shared meal was our Sunday night Small Group from church. I guess I do consider them family of sorts : )

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."
