Family of Steele: Summer?!

About Me

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Summer?!

So this last week it has been upper 60's to lower 70's here in Nebraska. Of course right now it is 74, on November 2nd - weird to anyone else? So the other day I let the kids play out back while I made up some cookie dough. It took me about 5 minutes and I suddenly realized it was awfully quiet out back. So I ran out to find the kids enjoying the summer weather.
