The Day, The Week, And The Weather


"I remember the day and
the week and the weather.
The smile on your face...
Can you remember...?"
- Firehouse


As Grandma's visit is winding down to her final days we took her on a long walk to the beach, followed the waters edge, and ended up at one of our favorite parks where we enjoyed a McDonald's picnic and blue skies. We stayed as long as possible, leaving just before 'someone' had a meltdown caused by an overdo nap time. A strange day in Helsinki...no coats or hats required. The weather was perfect and I was even comfortable in short sleeves. So amazed on how nice it felt, as soon as we got home I went online to see the current temperature...68! Then feeling even more curious I typed in our old zip code in Texas and guess what the current temperature read...68! I realize the sun is just now rising there and we are at our daily high, but it was nice to share something for once.

We have had a great time with the extra love and attention Grandma has given the past week. She and Daddy are taking off over the Atlantic on Saturday, leaving behind a quiet (okay maybe not so quiet) and lonely house.
