good times, good times

I had a wonderful weekend! It was just so...I don't know, refreshing and great. We did go putt-putt golfing on Friday (or as my daughter says, "puff-puff golf) and we had a lot of fun. Lily did a lot of cheating though; she would drag the ball around with the club and eventually just grab the ball and drop in it the hole, all the while insisting, "I'm not cheating!" Saturday was a relaxing day; we stayed home most of the day, but alas, the grocery shopping was not going to do itself, so we had to venture out to Walmart. On Sunday, we went to church, then went to my father-in-law's for lunch and swimming (although the swimming pool was SO cold that only the kids were brave enough to get in it). I learned that I've all but forgotten how to throw a frisbee, so Jessie and I played horseshoes instead. I did a little better on that, but I got closer to ringing people's feet than I did the actual pole. Monday we all went out to the river and barbecued with my sister and mom and family. My neice brought a friend, that, while we were eating, started throwing up and could not stop! That put an end to my lunch and pretty much everyone else's. The kids had a really good time swimming and playing on the playground, and it was just so peaceful sitting and watching the water. I don't know what it was about this weekend, but I thanked God for every day of it. It sort of gave me a soul replenishing, which I sorely needed. Ahh, I love holidays.
