Online Scholarship Hunting

I really appreciate that I can find scholarships online.  Not only are they easy to find, but Hannah is much more likely to apply to them online than on a piece of paper.  Let the safari begin...

Raspberries From My Garden

If I had nothing else grow and produce in my garden but my raspberries it would still all be worth it.  I LOVE raspberries.  And I think I would have a mental breakdown if I had to buy them in the store, or even at the fruit stand.  They are pretty spendy.  The raspberries were the first thing I planted in the garden.   I basically let them go wild in there since I can't bear the thought of cutting down a plant that would give me more raspberries.  My grandmother planted some decades ago on the ranch.   They pulled them all out a few years later because the yellow jackets would lay claim to them every year.  So I was determined to have my own someday.  Somehow I feel richer because I have my own raspberry patch.

Cleaner Than It Was

It always makes me feel better if I go to bed with the house cleaner than it was when I woke up.  Especially if I didn't get everything done I wanted to today.  At least I can look at a couple spots and feel accomplished.  I tend to get so easily sidetracked that many times there is no sign that anything got done at all.  Even if I have been working on stuff all day long.  But with that I have almost perfected the ability to make 30 minutes of focus at the end of the day look like I was on task the whole time.  Which I know is very, very rarely the case.

Henry

There is a little boy I get to see almost every Sunday.  His name is Henry.  Henry has to be one of the most innocent, happy, loving people I know.  He makes me happy just to get to spend a couple hours with him in church.  He is fascinated with everything and takes so much joy in the simplest of things.  Although he doesn't know it, he brings me great joy.  I am so blessed to say I know Henry.

Potential

I am so thankful that we all have endless potential.  We are able to grow more each day. Learn more each day. Improve more each day. Love more each day.  Give more each day.   It would be so sad if we all had to be stagnant no matter how great we are at the moment.

Baskin Robbins

Cup, waffle cone, dipped waffle cone,  one scoop, two scoops, the choices are endless. And that's even before you get to choosing your ice cream flavors. A whole shop dedicated to ice cream. What a beautiful thing.

Nothing ends the day like a great piece of chocolate before bed.
