Exhausted, to the bones am I. Today we had an early departure for Grove City, and spent the day shopping with Matthew for a suit for "The President's Gala." As you can see from Matthew front and center above, the mission was successful. We walked the outlet mall from approx. 11:30 until 4, a lot of walking. I have been wanting a nice visit to the outlet mall...but to shop for fun. This was serious business with a deadline. He needed to be back to be ready by 5. I did take Sara back to one store, after Matthew was delivered to get ready for the dance, because she was such a trooper, being drug from one menswear store to another ALL day. Though exhausted, I am a content mom. Both kids knew that mom made special time for them, and served them in love. That is a joy.
Barry's outside supervising the biggest bonfire in farm history, hoping the wind dies down. Soon we will all collapse. Matthew's probably dancing, we'll be sleeping.
