I'm suspecting I'm feeling this tonight because I'm becoming sentimental and realizing that my time with friends and family is getting shorter and I'm going to have to say goodbye for a bit.
To give you an idea of why I feel so lucky here are some of things I did today.
- Rode and chatted in a golf cart in the rain with Amy and her daughter Mackenzie watching Jay, Andrea and Brian during the golf scramble...And I don't golf.
- Held baby Mackenzie who is just a sweetheart while she slept soundly in my arms
- Bantered and listened to the chatter among and with Andrea's family who are just wonderfully welcome and warm...Love them!
- Ate Andrea's delicious ice cream cake and lots of other delicious food
- Added to my Brit vocab with a lesson from Jay ( I can too understand you!)
- Sat and just watched Mackenzie sleep, wiggle her toes, coo and smile
- Hung out on the Pearson porch with Andrea, Ron, Barb and cousin Tom
The Pearson bbq is MY annual 4th of July event. It's not the 4th of July without it. I love being able to spend Andrea's b-day with her each year, just hang out and I really feel like I've become a part of their family on that day. Her relatives all welcome us because, well yeah, we've been attending for the past 6 or 7 years but mainly because they're just a great bunch of people.
There's are lots of other reasons I'm thankful today too but right now, these simple things, that I'm lucky to have are what's on my mind. Thanks for a wonderful day Pearsons!
