Nearly every one of the 50+ perennials we put into some major landscaping last spring came back beautifully this year. It was A LOT of sweat, and it's glorious to see the equity (of beauty, that is).
All four kids finished up a great school year with wonderful teachers.
I'm s t a r t i n g to get some things around the house organized . . . the transition toward the summer routine has begun.
Some really nice visits with some graduates and their families this weekend.
More invites to parties than what we can attend; a bit of guilt, but the silver lining is to realize the blessing of having been invited/included.
A daughter who cheerfully came to me to make an inquiry (rather than calling for me from afar), and said inquiry involved helping with a household task (unsolicited)!
Twister Light from "Pretzel Twister" at Hickory Point Mall -- sweet, freshly baked pretzel that's soft on the inside with just a bit of crispness on the outside.
Sundresses, rouched-strap tanks, chino shorts, celery-green cork-heeled shoes, and a sea grass tote . . . from "Tar-jay."
"Battle Hymn of the Republic" at mass this morning. All I could hear was the chorus of my grade school self and ~150 St. Thomas schoolmates belting it out in my memory (1980's) -- especially the "GLOOO-ry, GLORY, hale-LU-ia." There's nothing like music to transport one back in time -- instantly.
Salt and pepper popcorn -- Orville Redenbacher's Natural.
Two bags of NICE hand-me-downs for the boys.
Fresh pineapple, strawberries, and bananas dipped into a chocolate fountain.
My Amazon order of Maya Angelou books arrived.
Waking up when I'm done resting. No alarm. (At least for one more day, and then for many more after Wednesday.)
