Ok, time to count blessings. And then I have to sleep...
*Sophia gave me an impatiens at the end of the school year. It keeps blooming in the kitchen windowsill.
*I found a great birthday present for my sister.
*Last week, I got to sit at a local smoke free bar and knit while Ann held the baby.
*I love the pool we joined. Love it.
*Sophia is going to be really successful with this Kumon and in swim lessons this summer.
*Maeve might actually stop being terrified of the water. I have great hope.
*The backyard looks nice.
*Saturday night, we sat in my nice backyard and talked with Mike's brother and his fiancee (!!!) and our friend Mary. Exactly why I wanted the new deck.
*We can afford to have the cars fixed.
*Maeve has not had another asthma episode.
*The library, dining room, guest room, and our room are still clean.
*I found two pictures I thought I'd lost.
*I am going to try scanning them again tomorrow (it didn't work this weekend...)
*I have a plan for Sophia's sweater's sleeves.
*I saw an owl last night.
*I have a big clean rental car waiting for me tomorrow morning.
*Someday soon, I will play mah jongg again.
*We got a dehydrator and have already started trying it out. We are such dorks.
*I made the summer's first ice cream on Saturday: vanilla raspberry. The girls and I picked the raspberries on Friday morning. Lovely.
*I am, so far, living up to my summer commitments.

These two lists are a wonderful balance of what life is. Sometimes I'm amazed that people think my life sounds so great, but I think I must use my blog to remind myself of the good stuff as all the bad (or at least annoying, worrisome) stuff goes on.
I love my dehydrator but keep running out of ideas, what are you using it for?
camping. We've had the book "Leave No Crumbs" for a while but finally took the plunge.
I love my dehydrator, too! I use it all the time. That ice cream sounds yummy - we just made cookies and cream (not quite as summery as yours).
I love making lists. I may steal your idea and do this later.
Also - what pool did you join? Not that I could afford it (I would imagine) but you know, for future reference.
Maplewood--we are "residents" now because we live in Ward 8. So it isn't bad...
I love raspberries. I love icecream. I want your raspberry icecream.
