Year 2/Day 113

Took M to camp today--one she's never been to before. She went solo. I'm grateful that even though she was nervous, she had a big smile on her face when we left. I'm sure it's the anticipation of spending 5 - 6 hours a day with horses that put the smile there.

Year 2/Day 112

Heavy rain here--as in we might need an ark to get outta here--but C is taking care of Duke, a friend's dog, and Duke still needed to go out one last time before settling in for the night. So my DH and C and his friend piled into the minivan armed with flashlights and cell phones. Much of the hood seemed to be without power, but not us yet. The streets were flooded up to the van doors all the way there, and this was right downtown Holland. Finally B found a bit of higher ground to park on and from there they walked through knee-deep water to get to Duke's house. Everything was fine there, except Duke (no dummy) refused to go out to do his business. I'm grateful the boys made it there and back, soaked but safe, and a little pleased with themselves about their adventure.

Year 2/Day Whatever

I fell off the gratitude wagon for a while. I'm grateful that over the weekend Peter asked about Daily Bread, thereby reminding me that I need to get back to it.
