The Sweet Life

What are the things that make life so good.... Family, and friends.... These relationships are gifts from God.... And it sweetens and improves life allowing us to live to the fullest when we share and give and love.










The kids went hiking at Beaver Creek State Park... They had a good time... Glad I wasn't there watching them climb around the rock faces....









My husband had a birthday and as is customary he gets a meal of his liking.... So we had Spaghetti and Meatballs... Not pasta but Spaghetti.... I tend to call all pasta spaghetti and it never fails that I hear... "Oh, I thought you said we were having spaghetti,  this isn't spaghetti!"  Well, I made sure that today, it was the real deal.

Erin made angel food cake for dessert and we topped it with french vanilla yogurt and fresh strawberries (from the garden) and blueberries.  It was wonderful.





The Salad was lettuces from our garden, basil, parsley, cilantro, and radishes.  The tomato wasn't they are not coming in yet.  But the salad dressed with a little feta cheese and greek dressing was pretty amazing.




The house is coming along but it is slow going... You know how hard it is to throw out stuff.... Well try going through 3 other peoples things... I sort out trash then ask them to go through the rest of it and so far I'm not getting very much cooperation.  But I am pushing through... I decided if I died tomorrow.... I don't really want others to have to sort through my trash, so I am working on it to try to make some headway.  We are not hoarders or anything like that-  it is normal accumulation and lots of transitional kid stuff. It is exacerbated by the fact that we have several projects/home improvements/repairs going on.

All I can do is do what I can do... Not let it get to me... And try to enjoy things as much as I can.... So that's what I am going to do... Balancing work and play, and friends and family.... Life truly is sweet.  Thank you Jesus!
