Well, I had the day off from my regular job, but who has ever heard of a day off for a mom and homeowner? I often think that if I would win the lottery or inherit a fortune( hint, hint if anyone wants to put me down for this I am okay with that) I would hire a full time Gardner, cook, house keeper, personal massage therapist. I am not holding my breath but it does sound nice hmmmm.

I finished reading Memoirs of a Geisha, great book, then I made the mistake and watched the movie, not as good naturally. But still okay. I was disappointed in the book The Mermaid Chair. Not as good as her book the secret life of bees. But I did like some of the characters. I am afraid to start another, I am not able to get anything done because I cant stop reading.

I think that it is starting to come together regarding our missions trip. This is our last real summer with Sarah since she will graduate next year so we figured we should get on it. We are planning on Thailand again. We have some other people going around that time and it makes for a more affordable trip. I think we may stay behind and enjoy the beach for a few days, we will be pushing pretty hard for a while. I know that my kids would love that. Well I better get busy again. This was a nice break.
