This week has been one of limits and openings. Olive's surgery fell through, sickness lingered, and the orchestra concert overlapsed four other events. We had to give and take. When we had an electrical issue, we lit candles, dig out solar twinkle lights and flashlights for a memorable evening. I had an unknown to face-grape juice. I am grateful for my children's example of doing hard things like picking grapes and practicing.
