It’s May, it’s May…

[eimarra]

April went fast, didn’t it? Actually, the first third of the year vanished fairly quickly. I know I’ve been doing things (taxes always seem to rob me of early April), but the time always manages to surprise me.

Tonight, my daughter’s Brownies troop (Girl Scouts) are doing a Mother’s Day dinner. We were warned to bring appetites and told “all bets on diets are off 🙂 desserts will be served!” Which, of course, is why I’m posting my blog now, rather than doing it during her meeting while I wait for her (my usual m.o.). So, time with my daughter — first thing I’m grateful for today.

Other things on the list?

Perfect hash browns

(He’s an old dog, as I reminded my kids a couple of weeks ago, so I want to get pictures while I can.)

What are you grateful for this first week of May?
