Extraordinary

In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary. ~ Aaron Rose

There is so much about every day that is extraordinary. I thought I would take a minute to celebrate some other bits and pieces of my life and some local tourism. I spent a day this weekend wandering Virginia, DC, Baltimore, and Bethesda. Here are some of my extraordinaries for sharing:


- Apples to Apples with DC swing dancers

- a clean apartment -- what a blessing that there is only one room to scrub!

- a yummy Valentine's Dinner with new and old friends



- a reunion over cups of tea with one of my favorite and coolest former roommates who is visiting DC

- a Saturday afternoon eating Ethiopian food, visiting art museums (great Matisse exhibit!), and wandering in Baltimore with another old friend



- a really pretty (and old) Methodist church in Baltimore that attracted me with its soft green mosaic-like appearance

- a kick-butt 5 mile Monday morning run (kick whose butt, you might ask?) Happy Presidents' Day!

- a newsy chat on the phone with my sister-in-law

- yet another dinner reunion with an old friend, complete with cozy fire and some rousing games of "Battleship" (remember that game?)


A great start ... we'll just hope that the week keeps up with it!
