Thankful Thursday

Are y'all lovin' this weather as much as we are??? I am so thankful for these cooler temperatures, low humidity & the beautiful sunshine we've been enjoying the last few days. I really needed it! Things have been so hectic the last few weeks that I haven't had much time to do anything but run-in-and-out here-and-there from one air conditioned oasis to another.

But I need to be outside! And to be honest I don't want to be outside when it's crazy hot. I need to breathe fresh air, go on evening walks with the kiddos, see the mountains that surround us & sit outback to watch the boys catch fish. There is something about those moments that remind me to slow down & breathe. I need those moments to commune with God. Those moments remind me that He (not me!) is THE Creator of all the joy in my life. Sometimes I just really need that reminder!

So here's a little bit of my joy this week...
I think those smiles say it all...hope y'all are enjoying this beautiful weather, too!

Lovin' the weather! Me and summer don't get along...and I don't even have curly hair! So, do you fry up those fish, or throw them back in? I don't see you as someone who would cook them. I'm just sayin'...

That is so neat that you'll can catch fish in your own yard!

This weather has been great!! Hope you'll have a good weekend.

We leave tomorrow morning for our trip!!! I am so excited. We will be home next Sunday afternoon.
