Family Board Game Nights

7/31/19 was not only the last day of July and the third day of our family vacation, it was also day 212 of 2019 and that makes it a palindromic day.  And a great day it was.... a visit with friends from the Penn Band (another met in the Band couple!), a good lunch, a trip to the Winchester Mystery House (ooooooo), rich ice cream, and then a trip to In and Out Burger (for the first time for the Sherrs!)  But the best part of the day, was after dinner, when we played board games as a family.  I love sitting around, playing board games, and laughing hysterically.  It helps heal the sting when I make a strategic error and end up losing horribly (but still finishing ahead of my kids!) :-D  My gratitude tonight is for family board game nights.   We should have more of them.  Anna wants us to try to not just have them on vacation, I think she is right.

A Night with No Plans

The evening of the 59th day was a unicorn.  After work on 2/28/19, we actually had nothing planned.  Anna and Sarah went to the gym, Alexa went out with friends, and I chilled at home.  Tonight, I am thankful for this brief respite (I know it will ramp right back up real soon).  Goodnight!

Being a Father

6/16/2019 is Father's Day.  And I spent the 166th day of 2019 doing things with my family.  Church, clothes shopping (I did need new (and smaller, thank goodness) clothes), naps, Disney Movies on TV, a GREAT dinner (mmmm lasagna by Sarah), and then more catching up on TV with the family.  I am so blessed that, on 4/2/2002, I was made a father.  Being a father has pretty much defined me since that day.  I am so grateful for being a father, as well as being thankful for those who have advised me and taught me and have helped me become a better father.  This, of course, includes my fathers and grandfathers, who have been shining examples to me, but also for all of those other people in my life who have been models and mentors, my mom, other relatives, my wife, friends, etc.  So, to all who have been in my life in regard to my parenting, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!  (and thank you!)

More Numbers

Today, 11/24/19, is Day #328 of 2019.  As with most Sundays, after Church, I counted, with my counter colleagues, the offering that was collected.  So, on day 328, the Loose Offering was $27 and the total cash was $273.  I know it might sound geeky, but this is where my gratitude lies today.  I love that these are more numbers to make me happy.  And I am glad that a simple set of numbers can start my day off in a good manner.
