I am grateful for a new skill acquired today – doing laundry in a contractor grade garbage bag in the bathtub. Worked great!

I am grateful for a small adventure. We walked to a mall full of touristy crap, and bought some touristy crap there. I am also grateful to the mall staff that helped us retrieve the sunglasses that Farley threw or dropped onto the awning past the railing we were standing beside for a moment there.

I am grateful for the sighting of a giant insect on the way back. Pretty sure Farley wanted to keep it.

I am grateful for more hours spent with my kids and their cousins in the pool , making up crazy games and keeping cool.
