Shopping

Yesterday, I went shopping at the Jordan Creek Mall in Des Moines with my brother Josiah and my sister Moriah. I bought a cast-iron tea set that I really like (I brewed some blueberry white tea in it today, and it works rather nicely). We all had a fun time browsing various clothing stores, etc.
On the way home, we listened to the album Viva La Vida by one of Moriah’s favorite bands, Coldplay. It was my first real exposure to Coldplay. The song “Lovers in Japan / Reign of Love” is just absolutely magical. Four minutes into the song, the mood completely changes, and a simple but hauntingly beautiful tune emerges from the ever-present synth backdrop. If that song doesn’t bring a little bittersweet tear to your eye, I don’t know what will.
So that’s a short summary of our evening. Like I said, it was great. I am so thankful for my siblings. They are the best.
