FAV NEW FIND: That last week's little surgery resulted in all negative results...what a relief!
FAV THING TODAY: Just enjoying the summer day with Matt. Fun to see all the little swimmers and how good Matt is with teaching them to swim.
GOING TO: A mish mash of activities this weekend...World Swimming Championships are here in town, so that means working as well as watching; hopefully, the Bach through Bluegrass concert at the Prairie this evening; and the biggie...getting 4-H all wrapped up and turned in for judging by Sunday evening. Trying to decide if I am entering anything this year or not...still haven't made up my mind definitely on that, but mine doesn't have to be turned in until later, so I can procrastinate a few days before I need to decide.
PRAYING FOR: Pick something close to you heart to pray for, and please join me.
