My Pleasure

Hubby and I had the honor of hosting a boy scout troop this weekend.  Five young men and their leaders camped in the edge of the woods in back of our home.  They were most pleasant and very well mannered.  They did their "boy scout camping" stuff and we shared some of their free time.  A thank you is not enough to express our gratitude to them for sharing allowing us to spend this last weekend before school starts back with them.  Being pre-teen boys, hubby and I were unsure what we would encounter with these boys, but they reaffirmed our faith in the youth of today and the leaders of tomorrow.  Thank you guys!

Saturday was a full day of a swimming birthday party.  Our youngest granddaughter turned four this past week.  The pool was filled with laughter and squeals as her friends and family all splashed away in the pool.  In these long hot dog days of summer there is no better place to entertain so many little ones so effortless.  Her maternal grandmother arrived with a splendid birthday cake that brought out the oohs and aahs of little ones and adults alike and sure brought a fantastic smile to the birthday girl.  The three tiered pink cake topped with a crown and trimmed to the nines was beautiful and it was all eatable.  This very talented lady's creations never cease to amaze me.  Granddads, grandmas, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends all gathered to celebrate this one of a kind princess.  

Sunday morning found me and hubby rocking on the porch with our coffee and our thoughts of a wonderful weekend.  The house was awfully quiet with only the son-in-law left with us.  Tired, but happy, we rocked, talked, and relaxed.  We do realize we can no longer have this kind of weekend every week, but we sure do enjoy those that come along once in a while. 

Thanks for stopping by and until next time . . .

Happy reading!
