Forgive me for the Harry Potter reference– we just finished reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with the girls tonight, so I’m preparing myself for Rita Skeeter to pop up in the next book. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying this summer of Harry Potter– we started reading the books with the girls right after the school year ended, and I think we’ll be able to finish at least one more before school starts. The girls have absolutely fallen in love with Rowling’s world, and I’ve loved being able to share this enchantment with them.

Anyway, I have some other thoughts brewing, but I wanted to share a few things with you all this evening. First, two strings of words that led searchers to come to this blog:

“some day some how this will work”

“i love more and more each day”

I don’t know what got them here, but I hope it will work, and I’m happy about the love.

Then a quote from a friend on Facebook that kind of sums up a lot of what this summer has been about for me:

“Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are… Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in my pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.” — Mary Jean Iron
