Grateful Friday - top 5


Picture is from my Rose Garden Retreat

1. Baseball season for the little guy ended last night with his best performance of the season. A slamming hit to right field off a tough fastball. He played catcher for a few innings and did a fantastic job. He got lots of praise from his coach and the other parents and that was so good for his little ego.

2. Warm, sunny weather is here and we have a pass to the local swimming pool. The newly renovated pool has a giant water slide and a deliciously warm "kiddie pool" that actually goes to a depth of 4.5 ft. Lot's of fun. (The bad news, our air conditioner is on the blink and talking to the local repair shop it's going to cost at least $134 for them to even drive to my house on an emergency repair call. It's supposed to be 98 by Sunday and we don't even own any fans anymore. But hey, there's always the pool, right?)

3. A great afternoon with my sweetie yesterday making strawberry freezer jam. Tiny, plump red berries, smashed and mixed to make the nectar of the gods come winter time. Yum. Lot's of good conversation and just side, by side working time.

4. A date with my Bible-study gals to see the chick flick "The Lake House" on Sunday. Just hoping that I don't cry too loudly during the sad parts!

5. No real commitments until tonight. A day to catch up on work, blogging and laundry!

Your rose photos are SO gorgeous!!

I'll be curious to hear what you think of Lake House. That looks good to me, but only if it has a reasonably good ending.

Love reading about your life--congrats. to your son on his massive accomplishment!

It sounds like your weekend will be perfect! Have fun at the pool (stay cool!) and let us know how the movie is! Just make sure you bring lots of Kleenex! xo
