Good, "clean", fun

Yes, this is what your boys come home looking like when they are sent out to entertain themselves. In the "country". With 4 wheelers. In the mud. And yes, they did have to hose off behind the barn with cold well water. And yes, I did attempt to wash those clothes...but they will never be the same again. Does all of this add stress to my life? Not at all. At least I know where they are and what they are doing, even if it's not all good, "clean", fun!

Life is Good

Well, here we are in the middle of another summer that is going by way too fast. I have been enjoying the lazy days and trips to the lake. I would love to say I've enjoyed having the boys around more often, but they haven't been home very much. I know they are having a great time with their friends! But, last night was one of those evenings when the stars aligned just right...Everyone was at home together, we shared a lovely meal (with no one jumping up to do something else), and had some interesting and fun conversations. After supper, we sat on the porch just "watching it get dark" and the boys joined us for that also (without having to be bribed with anything!). Yes, I would have to say that life is good...and it really is the simple things that make it so.
