Long Weekend

Family time.

I didn't visit with many of the family members much this weekend- mostly worked in the garden and I lost count of how many trips I made to the grocery store.

I woke up Saturday morning to find that Bryton and his buddies had decided overnight to have a cookout, and raided the refrigerator-so those items had to be replaced.

Mother and I went to the grocery stores where the best circular ads and coupons were, only to find most of the items sold out - so it was not worth the fuel it took or the time.

The large air conditioner Steve and I bought summer before last shorted out. Called an electrician up - worried that it was the wiring in the old house, COULDN'T be the unit, its only 16 months old - only to find that yes, it was the air conditioner, but the only thing that had a warranty beyond a year was the compressor - and its ok...so another air conditioner it will be.

Steve called to wake me up this morning - and yes the new roof was really pretty - but he woke at 4am to rain coming through the bedroom ceiling. Wow. We are truly tested sometimes aren't we ?

And I haven't figured out why I'm not in a panic ? Maybe because I still feel blessed. We are fortunate to be where we are, and even though everything hits all at once, we can see our way out of it.

And it really could be worse.
