Saturday

Saturday Smores

It's amazing how a few hundred miles away, hurricane Irene can be pounding the east coast, yet we sit outside and enjoy the awesome weather that we had today. The Lord blessed us this weekend with plenty of free time on our hands to enjoy the sunny, blue skies and mild temperatures in the 80's. How else could we express our gratitude but to spend the day (and evening) outdoors. I took this photo with Brookelynn's camera around midday.
There were tons of sirens all day. Police sirens, ambulance sirens, firetruck sirens...you name it, we heard them constantly. It sure seemed like a lot more than usual, but then again, maybe we have just been indoors or gone and didn't notice them so much before.
Stroker and I also took on a project today to hang a spare tire mount in the enclosed trailer. Boy was that a challenge. Three things we know absolutely nothing about are building materials, power tools, and hardware. For someone that had a clue, the job would have taken about twenty minutes. As for us, we spent a good two and a half hours on it before we were finished. And to beat all, we still need to put bigger bolts in sometime in the future so it will be secure.
This evening, Brookelynn had Kelsey and Alyssa over while we roasted hot dogs and made smores over the fire. Kelsey and Alyssa said they had never done that before. We had a fun evening and Cletus kept the yard and patio clear of any fallen food.
We also played Uno and the girls played in the dark with glow sticks for a while.
What an awesome day. Thank you Lord for blessing us with such a wonderful day.
Our first fire in the new firepit.

It Doesn't Matter Where You Go or What You Do...It's Whose Beside You That Counts
