The House is Coming Alive....

As the sun rises in the sky 

one by one people begin crossing 

through the living room where I sit

watching the tragedies on the news.

One sometimes has to wonder why 

I watch it....a morbid fascination,
I guess.

I'm not likely to give it up anytime 

soon so don't even try....

LOL.

But, from the quietness of 

me at the keyboard,

2 cats and 2 dogs comes a Mikey.

He bounds up the stairs headed for the 

shower.  He greets the dog with genuine

affection.  I warn him that he'll want a 

heavy coat today.  The temps have dropped

dramatically.

Eventually he makes it to the kitchen to 

make his breakfast before a full day at

work.  Chelsea wanders out and they 

chatter between themselves.  I can't hear 

what they are saying, only that they are

enjoying each other's company.

The Coffee Maker sputters out its last

drops and still the murmers of their voices

continue. 

These are the little things that make a house

a home.  This is family.

I love it.

We are missing Warren who is on a business 

trip this weekend.  But, it is also opportunity to

work, work, work and even fit a bit of play 

into our schedule.  Hoping to meet Diane, 

from Tomato Soupcake today.  She's at a 

Blog Conference about an hour from me.

We'll see how that works out.

But in the meantime....

I'll just bask in the coziness of home and

family as the house wakes up around me.

Great sounds, great times.
