As the World Turns

Just like most other weeks this summer. I have spent the majority of it with my 19 year old daughter. She is between jobs, living at home and taking a few summer college classes. I am not working so I am home all day. I also have a husband and two sons to take care of. One son is away being a camp counselor; the other son has his own place but lives in town. The beautiful part is my daughter and I have had time to do whatever we want to do and get reacquainted. We have done sewing and crafting projects together which is something we both enjoy. We have talked about starting a crafting business together. Who knows whether it will ever get off the ground but it is fun to plan it all out. We also are slowly but surely completing our first big ticket item to sell – a Disney Princess quilt. We have cooked together, planned menus together and shopped together. These are all things I enjoy doing and have enjoyed sharing that love with my only daughter. She has a part time job and a boyfriend so both have separate activities too. But this week, and all summer, has been near perfect for me – the summer with my daughter.
