Summer continues....more ballpark, swimming, and playing with family and friends. We are ever so grateful for the simple blessings in life that allow us to make these memories and enjoy one another. Even on the bad days, I usually reflect back and savor all the moments because I know the time is fleeting. One day all I will have are memories. I am thankful to my Lord for the beautiful blessing of "family"....
