Tomorow I'm hoping for...........

ruthbru

a nice summer day; a group walk, then coffee and muffins on the deck in the morning, a big family picnic in the backyard in the afternoon, playing lots of croquet, talking, visiting, laughing, going out for Dairy Queen and then staying up half the night playing more inside games. (We just had such a weekend when my extended family was all here over Father's Day (my dad lives in a nursing home in my town). It was so much fun! A perfect day!

A perfect family vacation would involve....

Today, I'm hoping for ...

WellWater

well, I was hoping for time to take a nap but that's over with, no time.  But I guess I'm hoping that once I get my laundry done I can just sit and relax for the rest of the evening...which means no calls, etc.

The luckiest thing that ever happened to me or my family is...

to have had ancestors who were brave enough to uproot their whole lives and venture into the unknown....landing up in America, which, with all its faults is still the land of possibility.

An immigrant story that has come down through my family is......
