13 & a PSA, etc.

We've been having those days - the ones where it starts out all sunshiney, then gets hot, then windy and when you go to the park, you feel like you're just walking in a hair dryer.

It's looking like rain.  Or lightning.   This means more fires in our parched forests.  Well, that, along with the asinine behaviour of campers who don't put out their campfires, will likely mean Chris being at the office during the weekend again. 

All this is a meaningless preamble to my thirteen things, because that is what I do if I feel like it on Fridays.

1. I made a matchbox.
2. I have fulfilled a wish for my sister.
3. I've enjoyed watching my daughter crawl in and out of her fort repeatedly.
4. I hosted friends for an overnight visit.
5. I've wished we made more time to visit people ourselves.
6. I've returned books.
7. I ate ice cream.
8. I've done laundry.
9. I took a tour of a fire hall.
10. I've cuddled a two year old.  In this case, it was my own.
11. I've discovered that my patience of my political representatives is running very, very low.
12. I was a confidante.
13. I missing someone who hasn't even left yet.

Remember - only YOU can prevent forest fires.
