A fun Father's Day with a spectacular sunset.
I did muster the energy to pick blueberries... actually we did it two days in a row. Why did I drag my feet? We had so much fun! I expect the berries will peak next week. I'm sure we'll continue to have purple fingertips and tongues. And, I'm envisioning homemade jam... nevermind that I've never canned anything in my life.
Listening to Tukes sing "Jesus Wuvs Me."
Feeding the fish at the park.
Coke floats, ice cream, and a summer storm.
Finishing swimming lessons... with success!
Kitchen cabinets primed and ready for paint.
The privilege of walking with a friend through adversity and watching God move mountains.
Lowlights...
Orange popsicle messes. There is a reason we eat them outside.
Moldy coffee grounds. How did the coffee maker sit unused and unwashed for two weeks?!
The hair crawling experience of having a roach crawl across my foot. Eeeek!
Floors so crumby and crunchy I'm sure the roach considered himself personally invited to our home.
My cell phone in the fish pond.
Boo's split and bloody lip. Oh the drama!
Boo found and caught a tortoise in our backyard, and named him Henry. At 6:30 this morning he was outside reading M. Sasek's This is London to the little guy. I smiled. Henry is now living quite happily next to the creek at a local park.
A few months ago Tukes invented an imaginary grandfather, an endearing man he refers to as "my Gwandpop." "My Gwandpop" lives in New York City, has a train, and drives a water taxi. This week Tukes added grandsons to his imaginary world. We're now hearing quite a bit about "my Gwandpop" and "my gwandsons." His stories are hilarious.
Happy weekend to all of you!

An imaginary Grandfather! Sounds like the perfect beginnings of a picture book.
Thank you for always finding beauty in the simple things. Today's post was rest for a weary soul!
Thank you, my Godsent sister in Christ, for bearing these burdens with me and rejoicing in HIS power and faithfulness with me, too.
Enjoyed seeing your week at a glance and LOVE the last photo best.
What precious highlights!
Sorry to hear about you phone in the fish pond though. Your photos are just amazingly beautiful, MG. Great shots!
The last pictures is absolutely amazing!!
Oh friend, your highlights and lowlights sound like mine...including roaches! Oh-I found a centipede in the bathroom today as well. Good thing I got to it before curious little fingers did...
Berry picking? I'm a little envious.
And I love the picture of the fish pond. Beautiful.
Once we "lost" a pager in a marsh, so I can understand that. Only we weren't sad.
Instead of "canning," you can make a small batch of preserves every week. I say small because it needs to be used within a week or so. I put the preserves in a jam jar that I've saved. Just put the berries in a pot, cook down over medium heat until a little thick, then add sugar to taste. Stir and cook until reduced and thick, about 20 minutes or so. Let cool and pour into the jar. It should be completely cool before you cover and refridgerate. Enjoy!
I love the imaginary friends! And how nice that they are all related. : ) Ah, the imaginations of the young.
How did the cell phone fair after the pond?? Any chance of a dry out?
I just love this new weekly series! :) The last photo is amazing!
Oh Modgirl! I can't imagine the roach crawling across your foot thing. eeeekkkkk! Sooooo sorry! Kelly
ugh cockroaches...they've been out in droves here in Bama...must be the heat.
We had so much fun meeting you today!
New here & love your blog, will bookmark it. Got here from Willow Manor, you were in the peeps. Loved seeing Scripture and a lovely photo of a flower.
I absolutely love the fish in the shadows. I could see that picture in a hall blown up -
Oh - write a story using his characters. It would be a chart topper, or at least a memorable thing for him later.
