Day Fifty-One: Milestones

Today, we reached a very special milestone. We have been planning for it for several days. We missed the last two because we were not paying attention at the right time. We were determined not to miss this one!

It happened as we passed the Weather Guard Company on Milam Street. I think that the kids were pretty impressed by it, but I think that they were also in a hurry to get back home. It was already late evening when we made this achievement, so tomorrow we will have cake. We are having a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

We are very happy with the gift that we have acquired and very happy to have not missed this milestone.

51. I am thankful for the freedom that we have been given to get out and explore again after a much too long sequestering due to my illness and surgery. I am thankful for returning energy and for the power of red. I am thankful for a Heavenly Father that blesses His children, even when they are ultimately undeserving.
