Ruby & I got to take in the beautiful blooms at the University of MN Landscape Arboretum this morning.   We had such a wonderful time walking their amazing grounds!  

P.S.:  I followed the posts that Steven Curtis Chapman's Manager Jim did on Marybeth's Blog all weekend.  What a blessing to know that in such a time of sadness, that this family is surrounded by so much love!  I was so happy to hear that her Memorial Service was a beautiful celebration of her life.  Geoff Moore, Michael W. Smith, Matt Redman, and a few other special friends were part of her funeral.   I have downloaded the song that Geoff sang.  It is called, "With Hope."  It is a song that he and Steven wrote 10 years ago for close friends that lost their child.  It truly is a song of hope.  Download it via, I Tunes, if you have the chance.  You are hearing SCC sing it now on my blog.  Once again, I am so grateful to be part of these Adoption and Christian communities that are lifting this precious family up!  I know so many of you, like me, feel a very special connection to this family.

So the song goes when we turn on to the road that leads to our cabin....  "Happy Days are Here Again, we're back up at the lake again, we're back up at the lake again, Happy Days are Here Again...."
