A sprinkling of barbecue flavor brings out the taste of summer.
Our little Weber grill is out in the backyard and is being put to use again. This Father’s Day weekend will be filled with many activities for us as a family. Starting early Saturday morning, Dad and the kids will be running in a 5K race, followed by our little town parade, then four soccer games {Saturday & Sunday}, and a Father’s Day barbecue dinner will end the weekend nicely.
Father’s Day Menu
grilled salmon
grilled marinated flank steak
grilled vegetables {green peppers, tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms}
crusty rustic bread with dipping sauce
watermelon and Rainier cherries
S’mores

Pretty little package wrapped with a message for the new year.

It’s wonderful to see on Pinterest, Facebook, Tumblr, and other websites of what people are thankful for. Somedays are harder than others, but like one quote I’ve seen again and again, “There is Always something to be Thankful for.” So true. This is my November inspiration board with pictures, quotes and found objects that I’ve gathered together to remind me of the wonderful things in my life.
Have fun using these printables of thankful thoughts, quotes and Bible verses. Post them on a bulletin board/ refrigerator, hang it on the wall or attach the little tags onto packages.
I find myself here at my desk almost everyday filing things, updating the family calendar, or sorting through mail. And every now and then I will glance up at the bulletin board and be reminded of what I am thankful for.

I am thankful for my loving, unchanging mighty God, my Counselor, and above all He is my heavenly Father.
Margaret Hilda Thatcher was born on October 13, 1925 in Grantham, England. She died on April 8, 2013 at the age of 87. “It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning,” a statement from her spokesman, Lord Tim Bell, said.
Former Prime Minister Baroness Margaret Thatcher
Baroness Margaret Thatcher was the first and only woman to serve as the British Prime Minister. She held her office from 1979 to 1990, longer than anyone else in the 20th century. She led Britain to significant growth and back on the world stage at the time when the top tax rate on earned income was over 80% and inflation was over 20%. She was an inspiration for many women around the world and still is. She will be remembered as a woman with strong core values and was prepared to make bold decisions. In 1976, the nickname “The Iron Lady” was given to her by the Soviet army newspaper “Red Star”. To this day, the nick name is synonymous with Margret Thatcher.
She will be missed.
