summer break

i took a few weeks break~ you might have noticed.  i usually do this in the summer and often when Jeff is on vacation.  blogging simply drops on the "priority" list.  July has come and gone.  there have been highs and lows.  stressors of all sorts actually.  thankfully they've been paired with many moments of lighthearted laughter.  not to mention ice cream stops and bridge swims and bike rides and beach waves and even the occasional patio date with dear friends.  we are plugging along.  thankful for summer, for small returns to things that resemble life "pre-Covid", for the little things.  no grand vacations, no elaborate changes, no real monumental accomplishments~ simply the little things. 



 had to post AJ's first task of the morning~ a failed rescue attempt.  the mouse was saved from the spinning in the skimmer basket, but not soon enough unfortunately...



anyone who knows Jeff even a little knows what he's doing below.  


there are blessings, there is movement, there is God's divine and undeniable presence.  grateful for this in this surreal time we find ourselves in.  thankful too for sunsets and garden plenty (thanks Dad) and less structure and routine, thankful for barbecued tenderloin and outside visits with family.  thankful for healthy kids (did i mention brave?? yikes...see above~ Hudson flying over the railing at the bridge!!) and steady paycheques and student jobs and birthdays.  thankful for online services and worship and sweet baby snuggles (more on C2 soon).  thankful for summer ripe peaches and open windows and unexpected blessings...ignoring the fact that this bottom paragraph refuses to align like the rest of the above. odd...

                                              God is good.  we press on.  and for now, i'm back!  more soon!  
                                                             be well and cherish the little things...
