T is sitting on the terrace watching the sunset and doing her work and I’m in here with my stacks. They don’t seem to get smaller and as a matter of fact, they looked ominous this morning and barely threatening this afternoon. Perhaps because it is Friday, after all. I passed a woman getting in her car this morning, she looked to be of an age that you might expect her to be retired, but she was headed to work. I said TGIF and she almost roared: THANK GOD.

I read an article in MORE magazine that said the people who have lost their jobs are not the only ones suffering in this economy, it’s those that are stuck in their jobs in a market where opportunities are scarce. I’ve found more and more people over the last nine months who are disenchanted with their careers and some are taking big steps to forge new territory and some are scratching their heads and counting the minutes ticking by till it is 5Pm on Friday.

Well it’s 6:33 on Friday and the sun is setting in the backyard and it’s glowing red. Here is a family photo that our friend tried to take yesterday but like all of our family photo attempts, it was like herding cats (and these are sans cats, imagine if Bam and Blekica were part of it):

A friend who lives in Saudia Arabia met Tin for the first time and was so enchanted with him, she sent him his first computer. We tried to snap a photo for her to thank her but he was so serious about the new device that he could barely look up:

We are weeding through a bunch of clothes Tin has grown out of and so I tried own his Jimmi Hendrix tee shirt and it fit and so he wore that yesterday for the small birthday gathering. I wanted to take a pic with him, but again that was impossible:

Tatjana took one of Tin’s and Margarete’s drawings and wrote a note to a friend who is ill in Spain. Inanimate objects are more readily camera ready:

Loca was demonstrating the Art of Lounge with Tatjana and I tried to snap a photograph of them but Loca became spastic I caught her mid way before she rolled off the sofa:

Meanwhile, the sun is setting in back and the weather is delightful and Tin has yet to get up from his nap because he didn’t fall asleep until 4PM instead of 2PM. TGIF and I’ll end Friday’s blogging with four things to be grateful for today:

1) My immediate family is healthy and happy and home.

2) 99% of my loved ones are healthy and happy.

3) We still have a chance to make sure the Republican right and Tea Party do not gain more access into governing our country.

4) The sunset is beautiful.
