C is for Cherries.

As I sit here writing I am munching on a wonderfully sweet summer snack. A handful of cold ripe cherries goes a long way in satisfying that sweet flavor on a hot summer afternoon. No one else in my family likes cherries, so I only buy a few at a time. But each summer as the price on cherries gets a little more affordable, I can’t wait to savor the flavor.

B is for Broken Collar Bone.

My son’s first day at church camp this year, he collided with another kid on the basketball court and ended up with a broken collar bone! I met my husband half way and brought my son home. He threw up the whole way home, due to the pain medication on an empty stomach. He rested all day while I called around trying to get an appointment with an orthopedic for a second opinion on whether he needs surgery. Could not get him in until next Monday! So my son said he wanted to go back to camp. Our doctor came by to check him out and look at the x rays. She said he might as well go back to camp than lay around here miserable all week. So Monday, we will find out if his broken collar bone needs surgery.

A is for All Alone.

With my family gone for a week, there are lots of folks who think I am enjoying my time all alone. Not so much. I have a lonely feeling. Though I know I will get caught up on blogging and reading and maybe getting school ready. But the one thing that haunts me is what my daughter said this morning. She said I will be glad they are all gone, since all I do is gripe about how they never do anything right. Wow. I guess I need to spend my time all alone readjusting my attitude!

Z is for Zero.

Which is about how much brain I feel I have working right now. I have been helping put together a summer program for our church kids. It is my fourth year to help with this. It should be running rather smoothly. But I keep dropping the ball on details and things I was supposed to have done to help things come together. I know it will all work out, but I just have so much on my plate that I feel my brain is working on zero power!
