Labor Day Weekend

We got to be with close friends in Shaver Lake over Labor Day weekend!

It was a quick trip but it was so good! We spent time at the cabin making meals, taking walks to the pond, playing games, watching comedy shows on YouTube tube and doing a whole bunch of laughing and talking. 

We spent one day hiking into the Burn for fishing, cliff jumping, and natural water slides. (Hank was sick so he had stayed home  that day…)

Then we spent a day at the lake!

Last dinner at Pub and Grub:

We had such an amazing time connecting with people we love so much!

crafting meditation…

 Over the years, I have made knitted garlands for different parties, gatherings, and decorations. I can listen to devotionals, audible books, music, and my hands can just make them without even looking. They are nothing fancy but I really enjoy making them!

It is so therapeutic and brings me so much joy, AND it gives me an arsenal of colors to use when the time comes!

role reversal

 When the kids and I go places, this is usually how it goes:

I listen to them talk and laugh and I think they might even forget I’m there…😂 It’s really sweet to see.

Sunday visitors

 On Sunday, our Mia and Papa came out to go to church with us and to take us to a belated back to school lunch at Cava!

It was really sweet to be together!
