“The ordinary activities I find most compatible with contemplation are walking, baking bread, and doing laundry." ( Kathleen Norris from The Quotidian Mysteries)
Somehow the baskets are overflowing. Last week was "getting ready for Dr. George Grant to dinner with students/ parents" in our Kings Meadow Charlotte tutorial. It was at my house. He shared, among many other things, about journaling and how the brain must tell back what it knows. I am continual struck by his vision, wisdom, and orthopraxy. He always reminds me of the Schaeffers. (L'Abri)
Not making bread today. Hope to take a walk. Having coffee with a friend. Doing laundry and contemplating as I go.

Love the quote...Kathleen Norris is a personal favorite.
Enjoy your day. We finished our schoolwork last week, so today is my first mentally free day in ages. I think you and I are on the same page. :)
(wish I was the one meeting you for a coffee!)
NOW that would be fun Melissa!
I've read this book as well as the others she's written. My favorite is The Cloister Walk.
