With inspiration from my dear sister-in-law, Rachel, I embark on this adventure - capturing an image every day for a year both to have for myself and to share with you. My hope is that through this effort, I will "keep peace in the noisy confusion of life" - taking time to notice the small things, celebrate the big things, and more fully appreciate the gift of each new day. Of course, I had every intention of beginning this on January 1st - but when that day came and went without a blog, Rachel assured me that this project can begin on any day. After a slow start, I really hope I can pull it off - and that you'll enjoy it!

Day 34 - February 12: Pancake Breakfast

When was the last time you went to an IHOP?  For me, until this morning, it was more than 20 years ago.  The local radio station, WBCN, and IHOP were running a contest and I ran in, not to eat but to fill out an entry form.  Turns out that the manager had forgotten about the contest until I showed up.  He told me it would keep him out of trouble with headquarters if I would just agree to be his winner.  I'm sure it's the only contest I've ever won, if you can even call it that.  My friend, Joanie and I got to sit in on "The Big Mattress" morning show, which leads to a whole lot of other stories... but I digress.  Today, Stuart and I joined Mom and Dad at a nearby IHOP and enjoyed a delicious meal and their wonderful company.
