Camping, Cooling, Contemplating

Outside My Window~  It's not as hot as it has been.  We are getting some much needed rain showers.  Our grass is very dry.  Walking in my back yard, I am reminded of how fresh hay smells.

I am thinking~ Still thinking about writing a post on brotherly love.

 From the kitchen~ Not sure what to cook.  It will probably be something that doesn't heat up the kitchen. 

I am thankful for~   I am thankful for being able to spend time having an adventure with my boys.  Not too much longer and my nest will be a bit emptier.

I am wearing~     My p.j.s!!  I will get dressed sometime today!

 I have been~  Seeking relief from the oppressive heat, I took my sons to the Delaware River to camp.  I am sad to report, it wasn't any cooler unless we were in the water.  We came home refreshed and much redder more tan.

 I am reading~  Found a great book.  It is the first in a series.   I'll try to patiently wait for the second book to be released.

 

The heroine in this book is a church secretary.  Her job as church secretary is defiantly more exciting than my job as church secretary ever was!

I am watching

The Incredible Hulk Returns with Bill Bixby

Around the house~ It's very quiet.  We are recovering from camping!  #2 son is happily creating with his Lego's.  #1 son is awake...not sure what his plan is for today.

I am Praying~ I am praying for the bachelors.  Bachelor Mickey is supposed to be released from the 'rehabilitation' center this week.  Not sure what the plan is for that situation...I know it's in  My Lords hands!

  2. How fun! That river looks like a great place to camp, my kids would love it!  Ferns are one of my favorites, that meadow is beautiful.  I've heard you guys have been having it hot, hot, hot out there.  Hope it cools down for you soon!  But then again, the hot is what makes summer so fun sometimes!  Enjoy your weekend! =)
