Thursday Thoughts: Work and Fun!

"Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. "--The Family: A Proclamation to the World

I love the fact that in order to have a successful marriage and family, we have get to have fun!  Summer affords opportunities not only to tackle projects but also to plan "wholesome recreational activities."  Over the next few months, we're going to improve the backyard, working in the garden and painting the shed.  We'll also be traveling to a wedding--now that will be fun! 



What work and fun do you have planned this summer?

Thankful thought:  Thanks for memory-making fun times.

    We are planning to put up our summerhouse in the back garden. But we've been planning that every year for 5 years now.... So, if this year will be succesfull???

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
