...a trip to PEI! Free rooms for 3 nights (thanks to Daryl getting sent there for work), sunshine (yes!), quiet beaches, gentle water (they don't call it the Gentle Island for nothing), swimming...'twas a good time
...strawberry picking - to celebrate Canada Day and Daryl's birthday, we picked 20 quarts! We went with friends, had a picnic lunch, fed baby goats, ate ice cream, then everyone came over for a birthday supper. Thank you, God, for new friends that feel like family.
...finding things to keep the kids from too much screen time. It is STILL foggy and you can literally feel it. I send the kids out anyway. They have some great play mates on our street!
...praying for nice weather. Okay, so that doesn't really keep me from blogging, but I am praying for some nice weather.
...keeping Emilie out of trouble. She has discovered how to get out of her playpen now (where she sleeps). Today I was outside chatting with the neighbor lady (in the rain/fog) and here comes Emilie walking out the door - after I had put her down for a nap.
...getting groceries. Yes, every time I turn around the fridge is once again empty and it is my motherly/wifely duty to fill it up with good things to eat. :-) I am really, really excited about filling up my freezer/pantry with produce this summer.
...reading good books. I'm so glad I got inspired by everyone's reading suggestions. I've finished my third book (not bad, for me) and I'm ready to dig into the next one. I just finished Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall. It is another book about a teenage bride in the FLDS cult, only this time it details the trial of the man at fault. Very interesting. But I think I can go without one of those books for awhile now.
...trying to get organized for our upcoming guests! (Angie and family, and then my parents!) I'm glad neither set of guests will be looking for dust in the corners. :-)
...and that about sums up my life...

great to hear from you again. :) sorry about my crap internet yesterday. :(
i can't wait to hear about what kinds of fresh produce you can get this summer.
Great to hear from you! Sounds like you are having a good summer.
Yes, always good to hear from your neck of the woods. PEI sounds wonderful. I was always going to go there for my honeymoon. Someday maybe (although I guess it wouldn't be a honeymoon anymore, but ya know...)
sounds like a good way to start a new post when it's been awhile! but bl*gger won't let me on, so...
well, don't need to tell you what all keeps me busy, do I?
11 sleeps til we go to the 'peg!!!!
Just this morning I went to grab some creamer for my coffee and when I opened the fridge I thought to myself, "How, how, how can this fridge be so empty already???" So I'm off to the grocery store today too. Crazy how much my little family eats!!
