LESSON LEARNED...

Several lessons were learned at our house Saturday.  Our college son learned how to operate a chain saw!  The other is that our beloved trees that shade our house can also do damage.  A roof inspector told us that we would need to repair 8 shingles due to branches rubbing on the roof.  And they would not be doing the tree trimming.  Thankfully we've had nice weather and the boys are always eager to do "dangerous" chores!

Turned out nice, though.  One thing lead to another and we had a spur of the moment weiner roast.  I got the dogs out of the freezer and we just had a little down time with our son, which we hadn't had in a long time.  Nothing like a hotdog roasted over a real fire!

Also, our daughter returned from her ski trip in Colorado, so we had a fun evening hearing about her adventures.  We had gotten a special version of Cinderella in from Netflix, per her request.  It's funny how some things you remember from childhood become really special.  She's always loved this multicultural version from Disney/Whitney Houston.  If you have a little girl she might enjoy it!


Life is good.  God is good.  Thanking him for the little things today!

I pray my kiddos stay home/come back during break in College. What a major blessing.

I like the "dangerous" chore part! Made me laugh out loud.

Glad your family likes weiner roasts. You know our family is big fans of them.
