What did you notice today? These are a few things that captivated my senses.

heard: “B-14. G-57. N-39.” Tonight was candy bar bingo night at the kids’ school, and we got to use these awesome old bingo cards. They’re the same style as the travel bingo cards we had when I was a kid.

saw: a beautiful golden moon hanging low in the sky on the way home from bingo. “THAT is gorgeous,” I said. “THAT is gorgeous,” came the sweet echo from the back of the van.

smelled: beans, unfortunately, when we walked in the door. I cooked up some pinto beans for a pot of chili I want to make tomorrow, so the house will soon be filled with a much better aroma.

tasted: a super-salty soft pretzel. It was so salty that I brushed off a lot of it — and it still seemed too salty. And I like things salty!

touched: the smooth keys of my newly tuned piano. There’s always something a bit magical about sitting down to play a perfectly tuned instrument.
