Thankful.

I am so thankful for so many things in my list...if I started a true list, it would never be finished. But today, I will be specific...

I am thankful for long weekends and the men and women who we remember this weekend. My own family history is rich with both men and women who have served in our military and I am fondly thinking of them this weekend too.

Hung out at the lake with Chad, Dad Bill (FIL), Chad's sister and our nephew yesterday. It was good fun - canoeing , jet ski, and swimming - made for a few fun hours in the sun. And I was even clever enough to wear sunscreen so I have no burn to show for it...though my hiney bones are rather sore from bouncing around on the jet ski (totally worth it, by the way).

Today we have already been to church and I am waiting patiently for Chad to get out of the second service where is is serving in the parking lot. I've already prepped everything for a grilled out lunch so looking forward to getting back to the house. I think we have made a deal that we will clean and play a little today and work and play a little tomorrow - instead of spending all day working one day. We need more play days in our lives, no?
