"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." -E.B. White




Kelli and Max went to Houston last week for Thanksgiving and we missed them a lot. They are home again and home feels homier. Kelli’s mom shared the drive back with them, and we all went on a post-breakfast walk by the river.
