a common phrase I’ve heard and used all my life. For my grandchildren, or those who may have never heard that phrase, it basically means that after all is said and done, or after it is all over, what really matters is ______(fill in the blank). For me, it all boils down to the people I am blessed to have in my life.

As usually happens,
I am feeling the "big event" let down. The house, that was full of family, now feels very lonely.
I've had this great idea that now is a good time to clean out and re-organize. The Sunroom, which has been the wedding staging room since February, is bare and needs some serious cleaning. In fact, the whole house is in serious need of cleaning.
The problem is that I have the initial enthusiasm and then no follow-through. I even went so far as to tell myself that I was going to reduce my "stuff" by 50%. That is why there are piles outside of all my cupboards as I contemplate what to "let go." I took a big load to DI tonight and then spent a couple of hours looking for containers that will slide into my small cupboards. (I think another name for what I am doing is called "avoidance").
As I explained that to Gary when I got home, he said he understood, and that he was watching the "Transformer" movie because it kind of has to do with computer science. He feels it will help him with course development for the BYU Independent Study programming course he should be working on.
In our old age, we have become very adept at rationalizing.

More fun
With the family. Idiarts hiking Stewart Falls. Swimming. Culvers. Movie. Soaking up as much snuggle time as possible.

I did
Not have a chance to take any pictures at the wedding and reception, and I really want to see some. If anyone reading this has some, will you send them to me? Please! The photographer will not have them available for several more weeks.
