I hope everyone took the time to say thank you to a soldier today.  And what a glorious day it was!  The temperature was perfect, the sky was clear, and Dear Hubby came home from his mother’s early enough for us to spend some time together outside in the yard.  He puttered around in his fold and go scooter while Patty and Gavin raced about the yard.  We were all enjoying the afternoon.

     I cleaned the grill and readied it for the steaks I planned to grill around six.  A few friends stopped by to chat—always a fun thing in my book.  However, we lost track of time and didn’t get the steaks on the grill until after seven.  That’s okay.  We didn’t mind because our stomachs weren’t growling for food.  Talking to friends we haven’t seen for a while, seemed more important at the time.

     The pups weren’t thrilled that their dinners were late, but they survived.  A few steak trimmings in their dinners gained forgiveness.  The games of hoops and hide and seek helped too.  DH and I are too easy to find but they do love to play.
