Favored by God

So this time last Saturday, we were on the way to Ft. Walton after having stopped to have breakfast with The Todds and get some Paisley love. At the beach, we helped Josh just a bit in putting the finishing touches on Stephanie's surprise party. We got to spend some quality time (not enough, of course) with Shari and Van and Joe and Betsy. We got to eat some good food. We got to see a gorgeous sunrise and a gorgeous sunset. We got to hang out with mom-to-be, Stephanie (which is one of my very favorite things to do...especially in Hawaii...but that's another post for another day). A perfectly wonderful weekend. And yesterday we got to see 4-D photos of Sadie Jane (what a little looker she is).
Today, I've washed dishes and clothes, made a pot of coffee and am about to read a bit before I go watch a little football at F and B's. 
It makes me feel a little old when I think about my grands...nieces and nephew. It makes me feel a little old when I think that the most energy I want to expend this weekend is going next door to watch tv. But mostly, I feel favored by God and I thank Him for allowing me these simple life pleasures.
