This week isn't really much more relaxing than last week, but at least Rich gets a couple days off of work. We do get to have Dominic and Shawn come visit us, which is exciting, and we are so looking forward to it.

We had a few things moved around with the VBS and other schedule things coming up last week, and we are just going to enjoy them this week instead.

Technically, it is summer, but this year has been super weird. Our spring was really cool for our part of the country, and our summer really hasn't been that hot. We don't even need the fans every day. That is fine, but it means we aren't getting the fruit as early as we normally do. So, we are making do with what we can find. We are getting some raspberries from our canes, and those are delightful. We don't know who ate our strawberries. It wasn't Rich and I.
