Trees and Ice Cream


It all started this morning with a trip to Braums. First, I got ice cream on the brain while shopping for groceries. I was captivated by the many different flavors. So, I induldged in a half gallon. On my way home, as I rounded the corner I was drawn to the tree in our front yard. I was admiring it's majesty in our yard and thinking what great shade it provides us. All I could then think about was sitting under it...and of course enjoying the ice cream I had just purchased while there. Isn't that what summer is about? I thought it was a pretty good way to spend an evening but quickly knew what would make it better and that was friends and family. Not all of the family was able to make it except for my aunt and uncle. I am always happy that they don't mind hanging out with us and our friends. I like how my aunt keeps the converstion lively!! We had a great time in conversation, listening and watching the kids play in the water sprinkler, and devouring ice cream. Thank you Father for awesome trees, terrific friends, and a loving family...and of course...thank you for ice cream.
