Time for another list of things I’m thankful for:

• fun times at the Cardinals’ game with my son Matt and his friends (the Cards even won!)
• fun times at the Rams’ opening game with my son Dan, daughter-in-law Megan and her parents (even if the Rams lost)
• cooler weather hinting that fall is nearly here
• finishing the first draft of a new middle grade novel
• blooms on my lilac bush in September!
• visiting with old friends and meeting new ones at Cornerstone
• my husband Rob who makes me laugh
• my mom who celebrated her birthday yesterday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!)
