Tonight was Ladies' Night at the Ballston Melting Pot. Such a cool place with great fondue at each course: cheese, coq au vin, chocolate! I went with six coworkers, some of the nicest women I know.
We shared a bottle of wine--actually two, one white, one red--and easily agreed on the choices offered. As the fondue forks dipped (and dropped!) food, crossing the table to try each fondue pot, the mood was happy and everyone really seemed to be enjoying themselves. We talked, we laughed, we ate (too much) and had SUCH fun. I looked around at each of these women; looked at their eyes, their expressions, their smiles. Being part of this moment was so incredibly special to me. I try to be aware of the gifts I'm given--well, this was a gift of such magnitude I was filled with a joy I can't easily describe.
Things happen for a reason. And we are all where we are supposed to be when we are where we are. This time, this place, these people, mean so much to me. Maybe Louise is with me now so I can appreciate more the time that is now. I don't know. I'm not going to think too much about it. I'm just going to be glad of it.

I was laying on the couch tonight, almost asleep, when I thought about stem cell research and you. It was like lightening to the brain. I don't know if you've thought of that already, or if you are even pro research on that, but it could be an option. California does it for sure. Just a thought.
Love ya auntie!
