This weekend, I've been house sitting for my boss. It has a few perks, not the least of which is the fact that he lives on a small lake and has a canoe. Yesterday, Mandy, my neighbor and her kids came down for the day and all of the kids got to go out on the canoe and generally much fun was had. We only had to make to rescue attempts. X and J went out and the wind pushed them to the far side of the lake and it kept them running around in circles. Mandy and D got on the boogey boards and swam out to get them. Then later in the afternoon, M, after tired of being ignored by the boys, decided to go a for a short ride by herself. Unfortunately, she got a little farther out and got stuck on the exact opposite side of the lake. Another rescue mission was in order. X and D got on the boogey boards and swam for it. It was a little hair raising, but the boys were so excited when they got to other side and got M unstuck from the reeds and brought her back home. M was distraught 'cause she had been stuck, the boys were ecstatic that they could be heroes.
Mandy and I also had a chance to relax and just chill out. We spent a lot of time just sitting in the chairs out back just watching the lake. It was a great day to have some down time and just reconnect and have relax. We did some dream building and some game planning. It was nice to try and figure things out and see figure some stuff out. :)
So as my family and I were able to relax and have an enjoyable day, its time to thank all those who served our country to make sure that we could be safe. On this Memorial Day, many thanks to all of the veterans who have served this great country. Your sacrifices will never be forgotten.
