Where are you now, Where are you now
Do you ever think of me
in the quiet, in the crowd

Elianna had her NHS induction this afternoon. Last year she didn’t want to apply but this year I told her she need to. I get that it’s just kind of stupid sometimes the way these clubs and organizations evaporate with the high school years and don’t really mean anything. Miles even says it made no difference with his college. But there is a principle to things as well. When someone embodies the qualities that the organization stands for, I feel like you should apply and be recognized for those qualities.

After that she left with Miles. One of his friends from church had opened a food truck as a personal business. So they were going to visit that. Soccer is over so he is home for the weekend. He’s learning Spanish from one of his teammates and the boys were giving him a hard time about his most recent haircut. It was done by one of his teammates who hasn’t given very many haircuts before this. Once this teammate’s arm is out of a cast from a soccer injury, Miles is going to ask if he can try to fix it.

The rest of us hung out at home this later afternoon and evening. We had a nice day and I love our Sundays at home. Dad got a text from a former member in Hoyleton saying it’d been 11 years to the day when the tornado came through and caused so much damage to their house and property. He was remembering and thanking him for being there to help clean up. I looked at him, puzzled. As he told me the story I heard new things and vaguely remembered old ones, I guess glad he had been there.
