Well...we did have a little Zippity- Doo-Dah in our day! It kinda snuck in and changed the rhythm of the day for us.
The kids (those that live around here) came for lunch today... We (Sam and I) boiled the corn on the cob and made the baked beans...We already had a pulled pork and some ribs cooked. Everything else was furnished by the kids.... (daughters and son-in-laws)
They even brought a watermelon and it went straight into the pool. It didn't fall in there, it was placed in the pool. Since the pool water is kinda cold....what better way to keep a melon chilled than to let it float in the pool.
Today felt like a dancing kind of day...I did not dance, but the spirit has sure been here. It was a day that had some sparkle in it and I DO LOVE ME SOME SPARKLE.
Right now, I have my feet propped up, and I'm listening to the sound of Sam snoozing nearby. Honestly, this in itself feels like such a sweet little blessing of peace. For me it is a comforting sound of someone I love resting so easy.... a sound I never tire of. Just the simple gift of being present in a cozy moment that asks nothing from you except for me to enjoy it.

My Calendar for the week is not overly full, and I am actually thankful for this. I'm hoping to catch up on things around here, finish a few projects and maybe even listen to some good ol' Southern Gospel music.
This sure sounds good to me!!
Blessings and Love...

Ha! I never heard of putting the melon in the pool, but it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a sparkle in your day!
Hey why not! Makes perfect sense to me. It’s like during winter months when we have company, we put the cooler on the back patio to keep beverages and desserts cold we don’t have to make room in the refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you’re looking at a calm week ahead.
What a smart idea, putting that melon in the pool! I'd never heard of that before, but it's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us know how your day sparkled. Southern Gospel? Turn it up!
