Labor Day Weekend & Back to School

I hope everyone had a nice Labor Day weekend. As it turned out, the 3-day weekend was combined with my usual Friday off, giving me a 4-day weekend. It was wonderful to putter around the house and relax for a change. The weekend started off with a Friday morning all to myself while Ray and David went fishing. Since it was so hot when they came back, Ray and I got into the pool and floated around for about 2 hours. It was nice to spend time floating and talking to each other about nothing in particular. We even held hands while we were in the water talking to each other. I got a giggle out of that because I could just imagine the kids' faces if they had seen us!

Saturday we did more of nothing much. It was our Saturday for pedicures so we went, then took our wedding rings in for polishing and inspection. Then I took off to visit my friend Marie for a couple of hours. We had a great time talking to each other and I've decided it's definitely something that we will do more often.

On Sunday we began preparing the kids for back to school. This summer was a very good one and one I hated to see end. Of course, it had to end and the kids started school today. I drove both of them to school and dropped them off before going to work this morning. I'm praying that this will be a good school year for them but, of course, I'm already counting the days until winter break when we'll be able to sit in front of our Christmas tree, maybe with the fireplace going. I'm cherishing every moment of these school days because I know they won't last forever.

Please continue to pray for our troops all over the world. Hopefully Thomas will be home soon.

God bless all the children returning to school and keep them all safe.
