The sound of silence

I often take the peace and quiet of my life for granted. On occasion, I even chafe at the endless quiet, and will pack up my computer and drive to town to work at the bookstore where the hum of conversation and life can surround me.

And then we have guests. We have great fun, and love seeing our friends when they come to visit. But I will admit, there is nothing in the world like a few days with a 3 yr old and a 5 yr old screeching and squawking around the house to reeeaallly remind me of what a blessing peace and quiet can be!
