Crazy Weekend Ahead

This is going to be a crazy weekend, but I'm not complaining. I love to relax, but I also love to get things done. We have to put up the shed today that we built the base for last weekend. I'm excited to have that up. A shed is a useful thing we didn't have room for before the dead ash trees were removed from our yards. Now we can actually have a place to put yard tools and such, and we might be able to make the back patio into something nice insteadd of a junk collection area.

On top of that, insurance for the fish tank manufacturer is about to replace our carpet on Wednesday. That's great news. I can't wait to have carpet back in the sitting room/master bedroom area. The only problem: all the furniture has to come out and we'll have to sleep upstairs for a few days. That's not a big deal, though, to have things back to normal and put the fish tank disaster behind us.

As usual, I'm grateful for the scope of our trials. We need to face challenges to grow, but I'm grateful they aren't more severe. We're very blessed.

I'm still going to fire up the barbecue some time this weekend. One has to on Memorial Day weekend. I do know why we have the holiday, and I do honor our fallen soldiers. On my trip to Delaware, I had the opportunity to thank two sailors for their service. They're fighting to make sure my family can have a barbecue without fear of being shot or bombs landing on us and so that I can send my child off to school without worrying about whether any of us will live to see each other in the evening.
