This is the day: Counting to 1000

As I do every Monday (sometimes as the hours inch closer to Tuesday...ahem), I'm counting up to 1000 blessing from God!
It's been a fantastic almost two weeks with my parents-in-law in town. They are the best for a multitude of reasons.

0626 prayers answered so tenderly
0627 sunlight shining through leaves - one of my favorite things!

0630 two more weeks of making school lunches
0631 shadows
0632 new bikes
0633 being at church

0640 Boston in summer; I love this place!

0644 tourists
