Jenise Saturday🧡Jeanette Today

 Lucky me❣️❣️❣️ Jenise came Saturday and I got her a chair to set her pregnant butt down by my garden so she could visit with me while I finished turning it,  *and I did finish!" And then we snuck off to Blue for sushi again.  Then this afternoon Jeanette came for a visit. I've been kinda sick so I couldn't get back out in my garden since Saturday so the company was awesome.  I love the ways Jeanette has grown.  It feels like we have trade places most of the time now - she is the one teaching me and I am thrilled.  I used to always say I didn't just want my kids to learn what I knew but to always strive to go beyond.  That that was human evolution.  She is proof of that.  Not that children have to surpass you to teach you.  Once I was showing a prism to a small boy,  asking him what he saw in it so I could then explain how it worked and formed the colors.  I set it in the light and asked him what he saw and he said "I see the world". My lesson froze in my mouth and I asked him what he meant and he said "Just look! There's you,  and me,  and everything in this room and everything out the patio door" and sure enough,  the world was reflected in that prism!! Lesson over. Lately Jeanette is showing me everything in the prism.
