Today has been unusual in that I have been around most of the day. our lacrosse game was rained out, and I was able to enjoy a night at home with everyone…..a rarity in my world. I made dinner for them all and in addition cleaned it all up too. Yep, I am a pretty great dad and husband…..make sure you let them all know the next time you see them!!!

We have decided to put our Volkswagen up for sale. It is a relatively new part of our “fleet,” a convertible, that is in great shape that we bought to have me drive. I really am not fond of having a convertible, but we thought it would get like 35+ mpg. It is really only 25-30 though and if I am going to do all that driving, for that mileage, it might as well be in a more comfortable car. The Cabrio has only 60,000 miles on it (59,990 today!) and we figured we might as well sell it and get something more suitable. As soon as we sell it I will begin to drive Scotty’s car until we find something else. With just under 3 months until he gets his license, I figure I have some time!

Anyway, the porch is quite nice tonight, although sans the cat since Ben has his toy mower out here every two minutes. I suppose the wine and the fresh baked cookies that Amanda has made help. But with that, I will call it a day. I hope yours has been as blessed and restful as mine….and if it hasn’t included a porch or a glass of wine, I do sincerely pray that a cookie has come your way!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless.
