It's A Family Affair

Yesterday, I was reminded why we plan and hustle and do so much non-stop during our busy, busy lives throughout the week ... for the relaxing weekend moments with the ones we love.

During the day, Larry and I took our dog Dexter for a little trip to the park. He was supposed to hit the Stride for Strays charity walk but after mucho delays and my fickle, fickle mind, we realized that we just didn't have the time for travel and fighting the USF football fans headed to their game. So off to Lettuce Lake we went for a shorter but quiet little trek through the trees. It was exhilarating and peaceful, and just what the doctor ordered.


Larry and I invited over for dinner our son Derek, his fiancee Misty and our little grandson, Deacon. It was just nice catching up, sharing good conversation over a tasty meal, with no particular place to go.


It's hard to believe that one of the kids is planning their "big day." It seems like I was just meeting the boys. And yet that was over 12 years ago. Time really flies.
