Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
I wasn't out in the sun long this weekend, but I still got a nice little tan on the back of my neck. It's kind of appropriate. I'll be thinking about sunscreen this week.

My daughter and son graduate this week, one from college, one from basic training. I have a million thoughts racing through my mind: memories of them as young kids; long talks that we’ve had about what they wanted to do with their lives; and the challenges they’ve overcome.
