Some Sundays are a good time to kick back and relax and be creative. This Sunday is one of those for us.
To start this day on a lazy note before we get busy, I dug out old greeting cards and set up a work station for Ava in my sewing room.
For a generation now, it seems to me that children's time is over scheduled and I think it is sad. We all need alone time with our thoughts and ideas, so after setting Ava up with a variety of supplies, I left her alone so that she could figure out what she wanted to make.
Ava decided to make a card for her mother using elements from a card her mother had sent to me. :)
This card, made from simple materials, is full of love and admiration and appreciation. I know that Kerry is going to treasure it.
After a T.V. break to watch The Pioneer Woman make a carrot cake and sloppy Joe's, Ava was back at her desk creating a laptop computer.

Ava's other project today is helping Papa make her flower garden. Then they are going on a fishing expedition to our little nature pond; the one that has brand new fish in it.
We are able to enjoy this leisure time because of the Freedoms that were planned for us by America's Founding Fathers, and kept for us by the service people we honor tomorrow. For this, a simple day free of cares spent with family, I am thankful.
