Old Happy Things

Finally, from the list I kept during EQUIP . . .

• "I'm not going to die here. If I die, I'm going back to Mexico, because here is too expensive." --Annabella
• "I don't see a demon behind every bush, but I definitely see a demon behind every lie." --Rev. Pokone
• "Excuses make me feel good about things I shouldn't." --Rev. Pokone
• Sign patrol in the van (the "Honk if You Think Our Driver is Cute" had to go)
• Telling Laura O. that her brother Tony was really bad, and her reaction when I told her that he cussed (if you know Tony, you know that I was, um, telling tall tales)
• Christy making space for me to pull over into the passing lane as we caravaned
• Missing toll booths via the I-Pass lane
• Mr. Norvell treating me like an old friend
• Reveling in the beauty of the Northwoods conference center and grounds
• Getting to know Jessica F. and Jessica G.
• A walk along the air strip on a crisp fall day
• Snow on October 24
• Fire in the fireplace
• Pizza Hut pizza
