summer blessings

friday night mc spent the night with me since jon and celeste had a night in the city thanks to her work. we had such a fun time together...dinner at mcdonald's, playing out in the backyard and stories. he is such a pleasant little boy to have around that it was just a joy. 

sunday morning bekah and i went to the conference center and enjoyed the spoken word live. i knew we'd have some 'wait time' so i taught her how to do sudokus which she loved. we both sucked on a werther piece of candy to see who could make it last the longest....and i won.

monday i weeded this mess and then jen and i bought some bushes, tarp and mulch to make this area nice for mom. then we went to lunch at rainbow gardens. there's nothing that feels as good as service. mom was so happy.

wednesday tanya, colleen and i hiked up to elephant rock...i love that hike. it's green, the views are amazing, and as always we had a great discussion. i'm always inspired when i'm with these two amazing women. we had breakfast at ruth's diner so the morning was perfect. the afternoon was spent in carol's pool. i can't believe this summer!! everyday is just kind of magical.
