Took in the Bowl fireworks extravaganza, being thankful for the warmer evening, after a cold spell, and good company.
Everyone was back from somewhere: Elle from back East, Smiths from the Northwest, and we, as well from summer travels.
When you're feeling funky about being in LA, you need to go to the Hollywood Bowl - just an hour to this historic venue in the Hollywood Hills and an hour's commute to an earlier time, when my folks used to run an apartment, where we'd spend Saturdays painting, cleaning, saving on upkeep with family labor.

Picnic-ing & watching the nutcracker band, while anticipating the fall term for Carolyn, who'll be teaching art at Beacon and me at Pepperdine, after a two year break from Malibu, counting the sabbatical + the year abroad. 
Renewing friendships, while facing uncertainties at church...but the school not only intact, but growing (over 30 new students from last year!) 
Loads to be thankful for, between Devin & Amy at Beacon Hill and Elle's teaching for starters.
As the Preacher says, "I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.
