To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Making Things"
Last Saturday Rilyn and I did some baking. She loves to help me "make things". We've done about half of our baking so far, with more to come this week (probably on Christmas Day since we won't be heading to GI now). The bottom two with the pie was actually from Thanksgiving.
I love the look on her face while licking the spoon.
