Catching Up . . .

I failed to write about all the different activities this week so I thought I would take a moment to hit the high points. Last Sunday was Father's Day and my family did a top notch job honoring their dad/husband. I was so pleased. It really made me feel special. That evening we had kebabs that were to die for. We used rib meat and chicken. Emily had found a great marinade and the vegetables were just right!

Monday was my birthday. I ran out of fingers and toes a long time ago and perhaps I lost count, but everyone keeps telling me that I am 31. I ended up going to work, even though I had wanted to take off. However, when I got home I had a nice surprise, my father-in-law was here and he took us out to eat. My wonderful family gave me a toolbox--I know scary--and some camping equipment I will use this upcoming week.

Tuesday both Emily and I were not feeling well--I think it was the fish from the restaurant. I ended up sleeping almost 11 hours that evening.

Yesterday we went to the river and spent some time in the civil war museum at Tredegar, which was much bigger than I previously imagined. It capped off a great week and I hope the rest of summer is this fun!!
