I had an epiphany today while talking w/ Maddy about cell phones. I suggested that we could reinstate our land line and get rid of all of our cell phones. She immediately wondered how we would keep in touch w/ each other. I said we'd just have to plan ahead about when and where we'd meet and leave notes on the kitchen table like we used to. She did NOT think this was a good idea. The epiphany comes in now: I think another reason why I'm more comfortable w/ playing it by ear is that I can immediately be in touch w/ anyone at anytime to make or alter plans. For example, Ron and I have been talking to each other over Skype to make our plans for our trip to Europe next month. I can see him and talk to him, and we can both be looking at the same websites while we work out hotel accommodations and train schedules. Technology has freed me!!
Amazing technology, however, could not compare tonight to the incredible sky at around nine o'clock. I spent 20 minutes while walking the dog just looking up at it. People probably would've thought I was crazy if they weren't outside taking pictures of the sky. The western sky was so blue it looked like a clear, morning sky as if the sun were about to rise rather than set. The eastern sky looked like bubble wrap w/ a pinkish tint. I expected an airplane at any moment to fly through one of the bubbles to pop it. I think God put Mom in charge of the sunset tonight. She knows how much I like to play w/ bubble wrap.
