Happy Memorial Day to you and yours!
Auntie Lorrie and Daddy left for PA after lunch. There were tears shed, as there always is when our beloved Lorrie leaves.
I cheered up the kids with chalk, paint, sand and water. Oh, and Popsicles!
My Gratitude List
I'm thankful for....
- every family who gave a beloved son, a beloved husband, for my freedom.
- my husband's kiss goodbye.
- Lorrie bringing presents for the kids, including the game Trouble. Finally, something we can all play together--including the two year old!
- sand castles.
- family bike rides (Mommy jogging along with the jogging stroller).
- a couple days without rain (t-storm expected Sun. eve.,but then no rain for two days).
- new birds for Peter while hiking with Lorrie and Paul (cedar waxwing, yellow warbler, tree swallows, and a baby turtle).
- nighttime talks with my sister-in-law while husband was at work.
- chocolate turtle pie (I accidentally looked at the nutrition info--not pretty, 480 calories, 27 grams fat. The most fattening thing I've ever consumed! No more of that........okay.........maybe on a holiday.).
- sidewalk chalk flowers.
- two year olds on training wheel bikes.
- a blue-eyed boy; a brown-eyed boy.
- four-year-old girls singing Baa Baa Black Sheep.
- pink and purple flowers blooming all over.
- corn on the cob.
- mashed sweet potatoes.
- big rubber balls in purple; new sand toys.
- little girls painting with the easel.
- Jack the Black, our hamster, who still delights Peter.
