Hope and a Future

This blogging is an experiment--and a new experience--for me. The title is from Jeremiah 29:11,"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." We will see where this blog takes me. It will include our family, literature, leisure activities, something about our work, food and recipes, and the day-to-day ruminations of a mature wife, mother, grandmother, and retired educator. It will be hopeful with an eye toward the future.

What You Do When Its Hot---Really Hot!

We met the younger Roneys at the lake on Saturday. It was really hot---98-100! We stayed in the boat or in the water as much as we could. Brooks was a trooper. He's not quite ready to take on the tube, but he had a great time watching the rest of us tube and ski.

We ended the day with a great meal after Brooks was tucked in for the night. It was a joint effort. Tom prepared the wonderful little filets on the grill just perfectly. Tara made her killer Grits Casserole. Andrew was the showman with his Caesar Salad, and I roasted a little asparagus and prepared the strawberries with balsamic vinegar for dessert. What a meal! What a weekend!
