3 Word Sunday*

This photo is actually from last weekend. Sera had climbed up, but Jim wasn't ready to catch her. He was taking something around the house. He told her to wait, and he'd be right back. She sat down and waited.

Sera and I have hunkered down this weekend, while Jim has been a crazy man running errands. He got his Father's Day present early - a brand new grill. His old grill was at least three years past its retirement. The other day I received an unexpected check from work. More forgotten than unexpected. I'm a mentor for new teachers. Because of this, I get a small stipend at the end of the year. I have plenty of responsible things I could have done with this money, but instead I bought something I've wanted for Sera for months and the grill for Jim. It may not be the most responsible thing to do, but a small unexpected windfall should be for fun, shouldn't it?

Anyway, Jim's hard work all day Saturday paid off. He made dinner last night for us. Grilled steak, chicken kabob, and corn-on-the-cob. We all shared the steak and kabob, so we could try a little of everything. A new grill really does make a difference.

Sera and I stayed home because she woke up on the first day of summer vacation with a fever of 101. She's not acting sick at all. She's been her usual happy self and played all day. That fever came back like clockwork though, every four hours. Each time was higher. After her nap, it was close to 103. In the evening, it was 104. She got a tepid bath before bed. I'll be checking on her throughout the night. Okay, I just gave myself away. I'm typing this Saturday night and setting it to post in the morning. Hopefully, by morning, she'll be fine.
