a great gift...


Who would have thought it?


Swimming in the lake
on April 1...


no joke...
no April Fool's


just a great gift
of cousin fun


on April 1
in Michigan!


and a great campfire
to end a wonderful day

Counting gifts on this beautiful spring morning with the gratitude community at Ann's...

the list never stops...

~*~

... for an incredible spring
... for splashes
... and giggles
... and deep belly laughs
... for "watch this, Grandma!"  

... for the lake that remains year after year
... for the memories that run deep
... for brats over the campfire
... for the call of the loon

... for the encouragement of other authors
... for good books
... for time to read
... for campfire conversations

... for the friends willing to take our dog on short notice
... for car conversations to deliver a child
... for a trip of a lifetime for the man-cub
... for the fact that I miss him

... for the man who loves my family as much as I do
... for the fact that I miss him too
... for his example of working hard
... for the time he takes to raise a man

... for His faithfulness
... for the ways He loves and gifts
... for the gifts of early spring
... and cousin time
