Our son got home from college this evening. I'm not out numbered by blood type anymore! There are two Os and two As. There are two males and two females; two adults and two teenagers. We're all in balance.

I cooked a leg of lamb for my son and me; but I had left over fish for the As. I fixed sweet potato fries, spinach with raisins, black beans, and pasta. I didn't eat the pasta, the As didn't eat the sweet potatoes, but our son ate everything. The grocery store had cherries from Chili on sale today for summertime prices, so we also had fresh cherries.

He is still battling the respiratory virus that the two of us picked up Thanksgiving weekend. I got him started on astragalas, nettles, and Vitamin C.

He had a very successful fall semester, but he is glad to be finished with finals. He's looking forward to sleeping late and visiting with friends. Our daughter has just started her finals, in fact she has her hardest two tomorrow. Her studies cut our dinnertime conversation a little short. In fact she's calling for my help right now - so finals will cut this blog a little short as well.

We are all smiles tonight - so thankful that our family is together under one roof again.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. Luke 2:8-9
