Summer

The beginning of summer........a different pace and different focus and prayerfully, some time for refreshment and renewal. I have felt that I have needed this all school year as the meetings stacked up and the mound of responsibility grew. And I don't want it to rush by at all! I want to savor it. So here I am. Maybe I will feel the inclination to write, too.

Our typical Memorial Day weekend has changed so much the past several years. I miss the gathering of our extended family, the BBQ and going to see Jeff's flag downtown. Jon and I hope to still do that. And I will gather a few iris and daisies for the cemetery. I am so not into that but I guess it is a small way to honor those we love.

Missing, as always, my Florida kids today. Wish all of us could hop on a plane and be there in minutes. We haven't all been together since Christmas. I pray that the Lord will open a job opportunity in Nebraska for Allen, soon and very soon.

Just got off the phone with Chase and heard part of his moving saga. JD and I are headed to Fremont today to see the Meyers and meet a new great nephew. Looking forward to that, for sure.

Off for some quiet time.
