What a weekend
June 08, 2009
We are easing into summer around here. Swim practices, play dates with friends, getting ready for camp, backyard barbecues, impromptu parties and just hanging out. It's been good and tiring all at the same time. I've been falling in to bed, exhausted after long, overfilled days. All good.
Tracy came to visit over the weekend. We hung out and drank beer. We took the girls swimming and chatted poolside. There were margaritas and corn salad. Caroline took the two of us on a field trip. We took lots of photos of old buildings, tramped through fields in inappropriate foot wear and had many laughs. There was a flat tire on the side of the highway and the nicest rescue ranger got us on the move quick-like. Oddly enough, the flat tire only added to the fun of the afternoon. Tracy also made me a quilt. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
What a weekend.
Really, what a weekend. I feel like I have so many stories. :) And I keep smiling when I think about it all. It was all so so good. Thank you, so much. I miss you and Jane and Kate and Fatty.

I love that quilt. I'm looking forward to some fun adventures this summer. Right now I'm building my arsenal of distractions and hoping to minimize the fighting and declarations of "I'm bored". Pray for me.
