We said goodbye to Anna today....

It was very sad....we really only know life in Florida with Anna around, so not having her around is going to take some getting used to. She was definitely a huge blessing to us with the babies... and the kids... we got a date every thursday evening this summer (there aren't a lot of people we'd trust all 5 of our kids to at once)... we didn't do many dishes this summer, either. But, beyond the fact that she was so helpful was the comfort of having someone around who knows me and who could be a support in the midst of a new place. This summer was a special treat...I am grateful to God for my friend Anna. :)
We had a fun summer of food....anyone who knows Anna knows that she can enjoy and appreciate food. :) We had a spinach salad almost every day for lunch....pizza once a week... and we were able to make some fun things to bring to the wednesday night potluck that our church has every week.
It was a good thing we had salad every day b/c we also had ice cream almost every night. We tried a whole realm of brands...splurging for Ben & Jerry's pints one night. My favorites ended up being the Edy's chocolate chip cookie dough "loaded" version, and the Blue Bell brand Mint Chocolate Chip. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be eating ice cream every night anymore (it was a social thing)...but it was fun while it lasted!
