1. The 4th of July! I am so grateful to the men and women who serve and have served in the armed forces in order to protect our freedom. We had a wonderful weekend full of family and food. What a perfect way to celebrate living in the greatest country in the world. As Erma Bombeck said:
“You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.”
2. Finally getting caught up with this blog (and my other one, too!) I enjoy writing so much and have missed this creative outlet.
3. For that matter, getting caught up on everything! It seems like I've been putting off projects and errands a lot the past couple of months and it's nice to start tackling them again. In the past two weeks, for example, I've printed and filed 350 pictures and then indexed the seven photo albums (with 300 pictures each) that we've filled since AJ was born. I've also cleaned up the bonus room closet, completed all of my returns (all 17 of them...yes, really), written 19 thank you notes, and gotten some financial stuff in order. Plus visits to the dry cleaners, bank, library, and post office. You don't know how much good that does my to-do-list-driven heart. Next week, it's Goodwill time!
4. Shorts, air conditioning, bug spray, cold drinks, deodorant, and everything else that makes southern summers bearable.
Have a great Friday, everyone!
