Precious Blessings

We celebrated anniversary#26 last night @ Four Winds; a special occassion sort of place for us. The food was wonderful, as was the atmosphere. It is hard to believe that a year has passed since we cruised Alaska for our Silver. Mamaw was right, the older we get the faster time flies.
The heat has been unforgiving for our guys this summer with such a hectic work schedule. However, this beautiful rain has provided a greatly needed break for them today. Monty does not beg for rain as eagerly as most. His jobs must to come to a halt when it pours and he does best on GO, not STOP; delayed work means delayed income, which he strongly dislikes! Digging ground "as hard as concrete" has brought on requests for some moisture from my hard-working man during these sweltering days. As I enjoy the sounds of rainfall, watching from my office window as the drops form puddles, I remember that God knows what we need exactly when we need it, which makes me greatful for His control over all things great & small.
Tonight will be another celebration, daddy's birthday dinner; his fund-raising auction purchase will provide a Fajita meal for 12, prepared & delivered to my front door. It seems that family gathering opportunities are rare these days, so I am looking forward to this one; a great way to end the summer break; only one week left, then the kids are back to school & busy schedules.
