Introduction	The sweet little hands you see above belong to my youngest daughter. We took pictures of her and her sister holding out some pebbles because, at that time, rocks were one of her greatest treasures. I show it to you because it seems to pretty accurately sum up my blog. I don't come to you with any great gems of wisdom, perhaps only a few ordinary pebbles. But for those of you who find some beauty and meaning in the simple and ordinary, I offer you some bits of my life.
