bert

my girlfriend looked across the table at me
with the most sincere eyes and asked
'will you watch mary poppins with me?'

i laughed.
of course!

so we've rounded up our other pal who happens
to have a daughter turning FOURTEEN today and
another daughter and asked if they wanted to
make it a celebration/mary poppins event!

i figured the girls might ditch us....but they
agreed!

i was thinking about bert this morning.

i admit it, i'm in love with that man.

and i thought of how he sees the magic in everything.

yes, yes, i know.
he's a fictional character.

grin.
i REALLY do know that.....
but i'm still in love with him.

and the idea of the magic this morning....well, it really
appeals.

gentleness and a quiet understanding that the magic is
right here.

somehow, that's exactly what i want today.
