Up In Boston Town

Looking down on the Granary

I made a quick 30-hour trip to Boston this weekend for a friend's baby shower.

True (if somewhat anti-feminist?) confession: I love the prep time before parties, gathering with all the other ladies in the kitchen and getting things done: cookies plated, punch stirred, coffee brewed, cakes arranged. Pitching in, pulling together, pooling strengths to provide hospitality.

In the midst of all this happy domesticity on Saturday, I thanked God for it.  I do rather enjoy being a girl.

So fun to see old friends and celebrate new babies.

So good to contemplate community and the concept of "home."

Leaving church

So interesting to discuss the theological problem of 'evil' over a late-night sushi dinner.

So comforting to be heard and understood.

So nice to share a bazillion cups of coffee and grilled blueberry muffins and laughs.

To walk familiar streets.  To re-tread inside jokes.

To MadDawg, Diesel, bANaNAs, Kujo & the rest of my Beantown urban fam:  

I miss you's already.

Love, KP
