Colleen took eight steps using the walker!! As late as Tuesday they weren't expecting that to happen until next week. I'm thrilled.

Had a delightful walk with Callie and Naomi along the Los Gatos Creek trail; they loved it. We went down to the creekside at the first available cut; it was lovely.

Brought Colleen some roses from the front yard. It's so good to see her feeling accomplished and optimistic.

I took Callie to the airport; we agreed even five days with no con was far too short a visit.

The rest of the evening was spent song-swapping with Naomi, mining Rise Up Singing and a couple of other books for songs to add to the Tempered Glass repertoire. After accumulating 2.5 pages of songs we took turns singing; she gleefully made me take my turns rather than letting me pull my usual trick of letting someone else make the decisions. She's good for me.

I was relaxed and happy; I think we both were: enjoying the music and one another's company. We seem to have settled into a very comfortable brother-sister relationship; I'm glad we found each other.

Did I mention that I love my friends?
