This weekend has flown by, just like always.  The weather is gorgeous this afternoon, yet here I sit inside.  I attempted a nap but was interrupted repeatedly, so I just gave up.  I'm devoting the rest of the afternoon to the constant problem that is our laundry.  My dryer has officially quit.  I am line drying (without a line) until next weekend when we can drive to Bentonville and pick up an extra dryer that my very gracious sister and her husband have had in storage.  Whew.  I'm thankful for that!  Purchasing new is just not in the budget at this time.

Yesterday we celebrated Molly's birthday with a couple of her friends and our family.  I've mentioned that Molly is my quiet child.  Yesterday was no exception.  She and her friends were very quiet and, to be honest, it felt a little strange.  This was a party, after all!  I guess the important thing is that Molly had a party she enjoyed and she truly did.
