I need to explain my absence. My kids are young adults, and it truly has been the toughest phase so far. But those things are their story and not mine. I truly do believe they will be okay in the long run, and they are safe, but sometimes the choices they make only eliminate their options for the future. Anyway, it's just hard, sometimes, to want to visit my blog.
I had a wonderful week off. I was amazed at how much I got done. I've been doing a lot of organizing, especially of photos. I was especially thrilled to get our bedroom picked up. Catherine was here for a couple of days, and I always enjoy having her around. Her job is going really well, and we are so grateful for that.
We spent the Fourth of July with our dear friends. Several of their other friends joined us, and it was really a lot of fun. Their younger son flew in from Texas and brought his girlfriend. She seemed really nice, and we are glad we got to meet her. After the other friends had left, we stayed and played a game with our friends and their girls. We really appreciate that their girls love us like family as well.
The next week Andrew went to Montana with high school friends. Including spouses there were twelve altogether. I was invited, but I had no desire to make a very expensive trip to Montana. He had an amazing trip and even was able to spend a day at Yellowstone. I'm so, so glad that he was able to make this trip, but I'm also very glad he's back!
This week I had a church meeting and we visited with my grandmother. After a really, really awful May, Grandma is doing a lot better. She enjoyed the fact that I brought Andrew with me to visit her.
Tomorrow, Andrew and I are headed to our own little trip away. We even get to take our sweet Abby with us! Catherine is coming here to take care of the cats because Thomas's work schedule is too challenging. I've been looking forward to this all summer!
