Now - this is summer!

 As I was sitting on my front porch this morning drinking coffee and reading on my nook, I realized what beautiful little scenes there were all around the porch. The sun was shining here and there making shadows. The potted flowers were shining. The dew on the grass looked like diamonds.
YES! It was just coffee I was drinking! I can appreciate God's handiwork now and then.

WHAT'S HAPPENING - I am trying to enjoy all the rest of the summer vacation I  have left. I have been getting together with the daughter, doing alot of reading, doing alot of knitting, and today I am going shopping! Nothing exciting, I need some new bras. I hate bra shopping. I hate trying on bras. Its kinda in the same realm as swim suits. They either look terrible trying them on, or they look good trying them on until the first time you try to wear them. Then you think "What was I thinking? Did this actually look good in the dressing room? Did this actually fit these?" But never-the-less it has to be done, just like laundry. So I am going bra shopping!

I haven't seen my husband since the first day I got home. We talk on the phone everyday sometimes twice a day, sometimes three times a day (if the reception is bad and we have to hang up and call back).  I think he is coming home any day now, maybe tomorrow! I am thinking of going back to PA with him and staying for a couple of days.
