It's The Good Times That Count

Made a new discovery today: silk dresses should not be worn in temperatures over 89. At least not if you have to stand in the hot sun waiting for the window repair guy to fix the teeny-tiny surface crack on your windshield. Because no matter how strong your deodorant, this very unforgiving material will make a speck of sweat expand into a lovely sweatring under your arms. Nice.

At least I got the windshield fixed. Not that the crack was really big enough to notice, I actually had to squint to see it...but better to get it fixed now before it becomes a problem. And what's up with everything happening to the new car? I promise you, I drove our old car everywhere and nothing. Get a new car and I've got door dings and rocks flying.

Spent the weekend phone-free. My battery went dead and our charger wouldn't work. It was kinda nice. Sometimes I don't realize how connected to my phone I really am. I think I've gotten better about it - I usually put it away until the kids are in bed - but I'm still on it a lot. Probably a little too much.

Thinking about my Pawpaw today. We lost him exactly 7 years ago.  Still hard to believe, hard to accept. I miss him every single day. So thankful to have had him in my life, grateful for all that he taught me. He was a truly amazing man.  We gather every year to celebrate his life - always remembering the funny stories and his big, wonderful, contagious laugh. It helps to make the day easier.
