If it's not one thing, it's another.

Yesterday we went to a State Park about an hour away from us. Took the canoe, the fishing poles, some homemade macaroni salad and some hot dogs. And of course the family went along to boot, including Lilly (she slept like a baby last night and is still sleeping. It will take her days to get over the outing. Funny doggie.
So the kids - little and big - went canoeing and swimming and fishing and had a wonderful time. And grandma just sat and watched and smiled. And played referee with Veronica and Kasey sometimes. They really are cute together.

Got a little sunburn on my face but mostly freckles. :)

This will be a more difficult week than last because the kids are going home. We probably won't see them again until Christmastime - you know the drill if you are in a military family. Hope it doesn't rain today - want to play some more kickball with Kasey in the back yard.

There are other things on my heart this week besides Laurie, Stephen and Kasey returning home. Scott and Tina need to iron things out about a lot of issues - I've tried to stay happy and not let it affect my mood with having Kasey and his mommy and daddy here, but let's face it - I gave birth to two children and one of them is hurting right now. It's something our whole family is feeling. Stephen was the first person I told - we can talk about a lot of things and I am grateful to have that with a son in law. I didn't want the bad news to interfere with their stay, but didn't want to break it to Laurie over the phone. We give her too much bad news on the phone.

If it's not one thing, it's another.
Ron is grocery shopping - yet again. Funny. We were supposed to go to a theme park today but we are having thunderstorms so we are putting it off til tomorrow or Thursday. Yesterday was worth a thousand memories - we have more yet to make.

Thank you, Lord.

Blessings to you my friends.
