WOW. Did June FLY by or what? I do not like how quickly this summer is going by… We enjoyed our week, however. My son graduated from his preschool program, and that was exciting for him! Friday we drove up to Silver Lake, walked around, and then hiked up above to Twin …

Friday’s Delectable Dozen – More Pork
Yay for pork!! The other white meat, right? I confess, this week’s delectable dozen isn’t something that health enthusiasts will approve of. This is NOT the other white meat part of pork.

Time off work, my kids home…I know that by the time school starts again I’ll be glad to get back onto a schedule, but who can deny the joy of picking fresh raspberries for breakfast with the kiddos, and completing completely random goals …

Thoughtful Thursday – Prayer
I love these few quotes for prayer: “If you can’t sleep – don’t count sheep, talk to the shepherd.” “When you can’t stand it, KNEEL.”

It’s June, right? June, as in summer? Just checking. Cause I’m FREEZING. We had a nice cold front come in, and it’s actually pretty pleasant, except when I’m sitting on my duff hanging on the computer.
