#46: a headstart on the week’s laundry
#47: the promise of a new door, stripped clean of years of paint…green, red, white, off-white…
#48: a makeshift waterslide, perfect for our little crew…
#49: a special visit from friends who just moved…the kind of friends who don’t care if pop-beads are dumped all over the floor, the lawn is half mown, and the kids are cranky…
#50: a rediscovered quote from C.S. Lewis…
“If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.”
#51: shade in our backyard, courtesy of our new portable canopy tent
#52: a new summer sermon series at church, Simply Jesus…this week’s ah-ha moment for me was…
“you follow Jesus to get where HE is going, not the other way around…”
#53: testing out our picnic table for the first time with a gaggle of bathing suited kids…
#54: little rows of bean plants popping out of the ground
#55: the return of summer TV (yes, I like it…) Next Food Network Star, and all the summer shows on USA Network…Burn Notice, Psych, White Collar…
#56: lawn seats at the baseball game…melted ice cream, kids running up and down the hill and oh, a little baseball
#57: dear little Fiona, as I lay her down for a nap after the baseball game…she stretched, yawned, and said, “it was a very good day, mama…”
Yes it was a good day, Fiona…days filled with little presents from God…and I’m so thankful that I’m taking the time to notice them…
