Time Together

We played games together this morning, two of our  favorites, Phase 10 and Parcheesi. This is our top plan for this summer - time together: playing games, reading books aloud, time goofing around at the park, enjoying games in the backyard.

As the years go by and the kids grow up, some leaving home, I see more and more that the best thing we can do is spend time together. 

 Time spent just playing, goofing around, talking, doing nothing in particular except for being together.  Too soon, they have flown away.

I want their memories of home to be of happy, together times. I want that memory, too.
