My New Swing and Other Things

Don't you just love spring/summer? I say spring/summer because I know that calendrically (is that a word, or did I just make it up? even if I did it still sounds pretty cool!) we are in spring but based on the temperatures and humidity, it is definately summer! Highs in the 90's, lows in the 70's, yup, summer is here! I really love this season. So much to be thankful for, and so much goodness to enjoy. I have been spending alot of time outside, walking (for exercise and pleasure), reading, and just enjoying nature. We live in a beautiful place that sits right beside the alabama river, and the route that I take to walk carries me right beside the river for a ways, and it is just beautiful, so peaceful. When we moved here last year it was already the end of May, so I didn't get to see how nice this area is in the springtime, but it really is great!


My wonderful, thoughtful husband noticed that I was spending increasing amounts of time outside, and decided to buy me a swing. We have a friend here that is raising money to go on a mission trip to Kosovo this summer (his parents are missionaries there), and is doing making swings and other things to help with funds. He calls them "Mood Swings". HILARIOUS! Anyway, Phillip decided that instead of just donating some money, we should spend a little bit extra and buy a swing from him. Phillip surprised me and had it delivered last Friday, and I was so excited when I got home from work to find it there! We found the perfect spot for it, and we have been out there every day since we got it. Duke loves it, too, because the spot where we put it happens to be his favorite place to play around, so we are all happy.

Phillip has been spending alot of time outside too. We have a golf course about 2 miles down the road from our house, so he has played golf about twice a week for the past month with some friends and some of our youth. He says he's not playing his best, but with a little practice he'll be back to normal. He wants me to learn to play with him too. I am excited about trying, but I told him I want to go on a slow day, because I am gonna be really embaressed if anyone but Phillip sees my awful attempts at a swing!

I have been really excited this week because on Saturday Mom, Lee, and Taylor are coming down to spend Memorial Day weekend with us! They get to stay until Tuesday, so we will have a nice long time to relax and enjoy spending time together. I always love getting together with my family, and a definate plus is all the good food we will be having! YUMMY! Well, until next time...
