Summer Days.......

My days have consisted of this.....sand, the sound of waves and the coolness of the water when I am brave enough to take a dip. Mom, Meghan and I love this part of summer. Where we sit, and chat uninterrupted by all the things in life than can be a distraction.

We go thru the deep stack of decorating magazines, planning for Meghan and Dustin's new home. We compare dreams and budgets, the wants and the needs and thank God always for the blessings of this new chapter in their lives.

Our summer is going to get a lot busier. Starting this week our home becomes a hopefully delightful "Bed and Breakfast" for the number of Dutch relatives that will be coming in July and August. I hope they find our home as welcoming as we found theirs.

A soft bed, crisp sheets, something nice to read, and a choice of fragrant soaps.....

a sweet flower to scent the nights slumber.....

and a hope that this message which is printed over the shutters by our guest room bed becomes a reality for all who come to visit.
