Happy Monday! Since my last post, the slumber party went off without a hitch and was a success. I'm also about 95% recovered from the cold I caught last week.
Summer has gone by way too fast and I'm beginning to dread the return to reality that hits once the kids return to school. This coming weekend will be the beginning of my final vacation for the summer. We plan to head out to the desert this weekend in hopes of seeing the Perseides (a yearly meteor shower) in an area free from lights. This is something we have done for the past 6 or 7 years with the kids. It's become a ritual at my house for us to set alarms for 2 a.m., then trudge out to the front yard with blankets and lay on the lawn to see the meteors as they come down. Trouble is, where we live there are too many streetlights. It seems like every year we say, "Next year let's go somewhere we'll be able to see better."
Watching (or trying to watch) the comets is one of those unexplained traditions that came out of nowhere. I can't wait to see if one of my children carries on this ritual with their children. If they don't, you can be sure I plan to!
Please continue to pray for our troops and their families. God bless everyone...

That sounds like lots of fun.
I'm sure sad about Ed's son. I've told Jesse that if he sets up a fund, I'll donate to it to defray the funeral costs.
I've also told him that if they want to have a fundraiser potluck at my house, I'm willing.
So we'll see
I can't even begin to think about the sorrow Ed and his family are going through now.
I'm willing to help out in any way I can. Just let me know.
You're a good friend, Kanani. God bless you.
