Computer has been down

        Our computer has been down, so I have not had an opportunity to blog. 
   This last week I was feeling a bit selfish. I was wanting things, like.... a date with my husband, a family outing, a clean house...but I did not want to be the one to plan these things. I was just hoping they would happen. Happen without me even asking. But life is not like that is it? I had expectations that did not get fulfilled because I was not willing to use my God given voice and ask. Instead I got frustrated, called a family meeting. used my outside voice inside and said that "since I was not the only one messing up the house I was not going to clean it alone". I got their attention  quickly and EVERYONE pitched in to get the house cleaned. 
    Once the house was in order Janelle grabbed her camera and off for a Saturday drive we went. Weston is a quaint little town near by that I thought would be fun for us all. We stopped at a cemetery, where Janelle got some good pictures, Jack enjoyed reading the stones. Jacob and I enjoyed just walking around the cemetery. Everyone was happy.
    Off to Weston for lunch, did a little window shopping and shopped by for some penny candy and fudge. On our way home we did try to go apple picking but we were not able to find a place. All in all a very good day.
     Someday, I will get a date with my husband and a family outing without being the one who planned it, but for now I will savor the good day we had on Saturday.
