I heard a little voice all morning, plainly and clearly, calm in tone, broadcasting: take the day off. My little voices have insight well beyond my years. Who am I to resist ( Read more... )

Had a fun 4th. It was sprinkling by the time we got to my aunt and uncle's, and eventually full on raining, so no pool for me. Some of the kids went in, but I just wasn't up for it. We did get in a few games of badminton and wiffleball, which is always fun. (However, my 16 year old cousin (soon to be 17, as he reminded me over and over again) ( Read more... )
