Catching Up

The past several weeks have been absolutely full of sunshine.  Actual, outside, fresh air and blue skies kind of sunshine.  It has been amazing and as a result I have so many moments I could write about, and a bit of a sunburn as proof of how much I have been loving the summer.

Some of these sunshiney moments:

~ Multiple family picnics with the people I love.

~ A visit to a train museum. I had no idea how big the steam engines really were.  Or how little the drivers could actually see as they were heading down the tracks!

~ Cherry picking. The sight of bright red cherries nestled in green leaves with a blue sky as a backdrop is just beautiful.

~ Trip to the beach/sandbar with friends.  The kids had such a great time going really far from "shore" since the water never got much above their knees.

~ Watching Evelyn hit the finish line strong at her swim meets and Nathan's pride at moving up two levels in his swim classes.

~ A few evenings out with friends. Always full of laughter.

I know I am missing a few things!  I may have to do a part 2! 

Yoga Vibes

My wonderful cousin and friend Michelle asked me to join her at yogaErie for a Saturday class a couple weeks ago, and I have gotten hooked.  I took a class this past Saturday morning with two other friends and we walked out afterwards, feeling all warm and relaxed to find my van had a completely flat tire.

We stood there looking at it, trying to decide whether it would be a bad idea to drive it a short distance to fill it. A couple who had taken the class also stopped to see what we were looking at and the gentleman offered to put the donut on for me.  (YAY!) Then the bolts holding the donut on were rusted solid and would not release the spare.  This amazing couple loaded my flat into their car, took it to a gas station, filled it, brought it back and put it back on for me. 

That was an above and beyond random act of kindness. Thank you!!!
