The Best of Times...

Winter may have tried to mess up our plans for the weekend {chilly Farmhouse, a frozen pipe or two (thawed within a couple of hours, no damage), wild wind, and snowy-slow travel},  but...

we were together, 

so we won!!

Today, I am thanking the Lord for

memories made,

joy shared,

babies held,

stories read,

games played,

long weekends,

hugs given and received,

meals and (lots of) cups of coffee shared,

nearness,

happy children,

good health over the weekend,

warm food,

an abundance of blankets, quilts, throws, and Snuggies,

cousins playing,

four generations,

tulips on the island,

warm fellowship,

the joys of being older,

safe travels (oh, so thankful!),

and the rich, rich mercies of God.
