Grateful: Summer Solstice Edition

A few things for which I am grateful this week:

  1. Got ready for our weekend in Door County without having to stay up all night.
  2. Actually not checking work email from Thursday noon until on our way home Sunday afternoon (I only read them. Didn’t respond to them! and I regretted it as soon as I did it and spent the next hour trying to forget what I had read.)
  3. Beautiful weather on the weekend.
  4. A calm Lake Michigan when we went fishing
  5. Only occasionally feeling weird about having G with us on this outing
  6. Spending some time at Whitefish Sand Dunes State park again
  7. Delicious meals…and mostly being able to avoid chain food. A little harder when traveling with the dogs you can’t leave in the car because of the weather.
  8. Stopping at Lambeau Field. I didn’t really want to, the boys I think could have taken it or left it, but G was trying so hard to give them an experience it was cute.
  9. Catching some salmon on our fishing trip.
  10. Seeing both the sunrise and the sunset on Saturday.
  11. G taking the boys out to get lunch while I took a nap on Saturday. And bringing me back a turkey club sandwhich.
  12. G staying at the house for a couple of hours after the boys went off with their dad on Sunday.
  13. Menards has my selected paver bricks on sale — so a little procrastination will be saving me some money
  14. JH’s friend George the Mechanic fixed my car while we were in Door County
  15. Traveling with G worked. So, there’s that.

    It sounds like a great trip with all of your men. I’d be grateful too.

    someone once told me, “if you can travel with someone, it will work out.”. I love it, “so there’s that”.
