A lovely May ending

Yesterday, Andrew and I had several plans.  The first one ended up being cancelled though, as there was a mechanical failure on a volunteer project Andrew was supposed to work on.  We then headed north to my hometown for a graduation party for the daughter of dear family friends.  My sister and mom were there as well.  It was a very nice visit with family and friends.

Then we decided to go shopping.  I detest shopping.  But, there were a few things I wanted to purchase, and Andrew had a few thoughts as well.  The nice thing was that we didn't just walk around browsing.  I knew where I wanted to shop and Andrew knew where he wanted to shop.  Then we had a wonderful dinner with a drink, hit one more store on the way home, and were home by late evening.

I am so grateful for yesterday.  The weather was gorgeous, and it continues to be today.  Before Andrew started mowing, the animal sounds from our backyard were so serene and peaceful.  A week from today we are headed to North Carolina, and I know our blessings are abundant.
