Summer is here!

Well, I missed welcoming summer yesterday, so I will do it today. Welcome summer, now go away. Ok, maybe I don't want it to go away entirely but there are some aspects that I sure would love to do with out. Like....oh the heat maybe? If we had a built in pool I might reconsider, but until that pipe dream happens, the Sacto heat and I will remain enemies. Summer does have a few redeeming qualities. The biggest for our household is a much needed break from our school routine. School will continue off and on throughout, but the daily schedule is relaxed until the middle of August. It's lazy days around here, and i was so ready for that. Time to get closets organized, shelves straightened, under the beds cleared, toys organized, clothing donated etc. I am also enjoying my nights when I get to do nothing except lay on my couch watching a Giants game. There is no greater luxury for me on a hot summer night,
So welcome summer. Hope you can keep the thermostat controlled and that you don't go away too quickly. We are glad you see finally here!

Memorial day 2010

Where does time go? I'm asking myself that question more often as I get older. It literally seems only a few short months ago we were celebrating Memorial day at Jim and Becky's new house. Now I'm getting salads ready to go to their house again to swim, BBQ, etc. It's Memorial day 2010. School is not yet out around here but the natives are restless none the less. I think that their teacher is probably the most ready but they might want to debate me on that.
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank and give honor to all the men and women who are now or have ever served this country. You are willing to give the ultimate sacrifice on our and our country's behalf, and for that we thank you. We thank your families who you leave behind here. Families who pray for you and wait for your safe return. We thank them too. We could not enjoy the freedom we have in this country without your service and dedication. So we thank you today and we are grateful to you everyday. May God continue to bless and protect you. May you receive the reception you have earned when you return home. May it be soon.
Happy Memorial day !

It always has a beginning...

I have been wanting to do this for quite sometime. I still don't have time to devote to this, but here I go anyway. I'm not sure where this will go or for how long. But all things have beginnings, and today is Mommy Duck blog's start. So, with that I will close my opening blog. I hope to see you soon. Blessings from mommy duck.
