Angle of Repose


"What do you mean by 'Angle of Repose'?" she asked me...it is the angle at which two lines prop each other up, the leaning-together from the vertical which produces the false arch..."

I just finished re-reading one of my favorite books, Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner. It was one of those occasional literary experiences in which you wish to never leave the lives of the main characters. It also was a great reminder to me of how lucky I am to be married to such an incredible woman. I feel very blessed to be able to experience this life and the eternities with her, propping each other up in a perfect angle of repose to make our way through the different challenges and joys of life.

You are a lucky man. I am amazed at all she does on her blog, she is a stellar cook and earth lover. You definitely scored, and she didn't do so bad for herself either.
