it was a good day!

Early in the morning .. .

we had "house" guests. . .which I'll elaborate on another day. .

I popped my raspberry scones in the oven and then . .

let the day unfold.

Around noon ..

when the eggs were in the cooler ..

and we were pretty much just the two of us. .

my beloved organized a picnic . .

for two.

We went the the closest park we could find. .

with our Chicken Snack Wraps. .

and found the local DQ for our dessert.

Later in the afternoon. .

we went to the Canada Day Party that we now consider a yearly event.

(my sister by love once said that if you do something two times in a row. . .it becomes standard) .. in this case. . .it sounds like a good idea.

Our little friend Ethan. ..

calls us all names that are unique to us. . .and him. .

and we love him for it.

The guys prepared to cook our dinner.

We laughed, relaxed. . talked about summer plans. .

and ate hot dogs.

We live in a wonderful country.

Not everything about Canada makes me proud . ..

but there is plenty to be thankful for.

At the end of the day. . .we found ourselves in conversation in which we challenged each other to be kind to our community. . to be involved. . .and to seek to care for those. ..

that need a bit of love.

I'd say. . . it was a good day!
