Silver Linings

Aside from the photo debacle, we've had a less than stellar couple of weeks. Nothing that exceeds minor annoyances, but annoyances they are:

~ Jamie had an unpleasant week of work at the end of April which was expected but unpleasant, none the less.

~ Our long awaited vacation to Florida is toast due to the possibility of oil on the "pristine beach" that was to be our entertainment. The oil isn't currently on that beach, but we weren't too keen on rolling the dice. The potential of dead animals washing ashore, oily water, and dirty beaches didn't seem worth the money.

~ And, the photos...

~ Jamie had to attend a conference last weekend so when he left for work on Monday we all felt cheated of our time together.

The silver lining:

~ Jamie has a job. A good one for which we are most thankful.

~ A very kind friend offered her parents' vacation home in the mountains in Montana to us for a week later this summer. Montana is our style... lots of outdoor activities. I've always wanted to vacation there, so now we are going!

~ I have the blog, so the last six months of photos are not a total loss.

~ No working for my man this coming weekend so we are going to spend a fun day as a family on Saturday to celebrate Mothers' Day.
