Trundling along

Its been a long week with not too much excitement going on. But that's okay! Its nice to just trundle along doing normal things sometimes, especially when one gets to enjoy the company of a few close friends. Yesterday I felt just a little bit out-of-phase with the rest of life, so after our morning walk I sought refuge at my friend Elin's house. Her youngest daughter Johanne turned 3 months yesterday so we celebrated by finishing the gingerbread cookies from Christmas and drinking tea. Johanne and Tryfan looked so cute together on the floorRhiannon has been talking a lot more and she loves to sing and dance. But since I know American kid songs and Rhodri knows Welsh kid songs and Rhiannon knows Norwegian kid songs...we seldom sing together EXCEPT in the car on the way to/from the house when we listen to the Canadian folk singer Stompin' Tom Connors. Our favorite song is "Bud the Spud" which goes a little something like this...
It's Bud the Spud! from the bright red mud
Rollin' down the highway smiling
The spuds are big on the back of Bud's rig
They're from Prince Edward Island
They're from Prince Edward Island
