Today

• sleeping in until 8:30
• sipping coffee in my rocker on the deck
• explaining to my son why we should not suck up popsicle sticks with the vaccuum
• errands with my family
• wandering around Cabelas, and being surprised with a cool new hat by my hubby
• swimming with the kids
• kicking the kids out of the pool so hubby and I could float (he was on the pink one!)
• while floating, visiting about everything and nothing
• Shooing away neighbor kids
• Stealing hubbys' new deck chair when he's not looking
• Offering to do all the housework if hubby would do the grocery shopping
• Surprised with a skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks
• picking fresh basil and cilantro from the garden
• contemplating what kind of critter is eating our strawberries
• admiring my enormous tomato plants that have no tomatoes
• making yummy cold spaghetti salad for dinner
• laughing at hubby who took children's benadryl and is now fast asleep
• watching the kids take a late night "dip-dip", with the pool light on...this thrills them
• Enjoying a peaceful summer evening and sipping my latte
• Feeling relaxed and completely content
• It was, in fact, a very good day.
