We need to get back to brighter days.
I understand how much we like to close the curtains and shut the world out when we're feeling dark or gloomy. {Sometimes we don't even know why}. It's important even on rainy days, to find something bright to smile about.
Memorial Day weekend!
It used to be a family tradition to kick off the summer season, by going camping. It used to be a natures tradition to be beautiful Friday, Saturday and start raining Sunday so everything was soaked by Monday. This year it rained and then got nice, so all the wet campers got to dry out before packing up. Nope, I wasn't one of them.
17 years ago we were on such a camping trip when my daughter went into labor. The hospital wasn't close. By the time we arrived there was no time for pain meds and my granddaughter was born within the hour. The room smelled like campfire smoke of all things...
Don't look at me, we are a camping family. My youngest son was in a playpen balanced on the side of the river with me, fishing when he was just months old.
This year, we stayed home and had the "17" birthday party. They grow up so fast!! and so beautiful!
When you have your cousins you are never alone. It was so much fun watching the grandkids / cuzzy's play. The moments were priceless. This is that bonding, that lasts a lifetime.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
Before leaving, I have a couple prayer requests,
My Granddaughter Jasmine and
My dear friends, B & C. The Lord knows the needs and the needs are great. Let us come together in prayer. Anyone with a prayer request can fill out the form at the bottom of the page, or email me .
Blessed by God,
Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn
Thanks for Stopping by,
Until next time, Stay safe and Happy Trails.
