Hi, Everyone!

I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend! It was one of the first nice Memorial Day weekends we've had weather-wise in several years. I worked Sat. and Sun., so I had Monday off, and we had a wonderful family day. We took the kids to a park and had a picnic lunch. This was one of the first times in a long time that we had done that, because we used to do it alot when the kids were little, but now that they are all teenagers except for Elizabeth, the frequency of going to the park is rare. But we had a blast. There was hardly anyone there, and we took along a frisbee, a football and a sky ball(that's a ball that goes high in the sky when you bounce it). All six of us stood in a big circle in an open field of grass and tossed these things around and laughed until we were sick. Mostly they laughed at me, because I have never had good hand/eye coordination. I couldn't catch anything to save my soul! Of course, Mark and the kids are all good in sports, but not me! I keep telling my kids it's because they didn't have girls' sports when I was growing up! In my small town, they didn't, or that's my excuse anyway.

Later on at dinnertime, we ate out on the deck for the first time this year, so Elizabeth was very happy! She loves to eat outdoors...actually she just plain loves the outdoors! It was beautiful weather, but it was even more beautiful to spend a day relaxing as a family! With all the activities always honing in on family time, this was a blessed day!

But now it's back to school and work, so let me tell you what's coming up this week on the show. We will be talking about Time To Take Care of Yourself with two great items in this category. Then we move into Time to Make Life Easier with one of my new favorite items from QVC. It's something I bought for my closet, so I will tell you about it on Wed. morning.

Then we will talk about Time for Entertaining. We love to entertain in the summertime...to have friends over for dinner and relax on the deck. Or perhaps you are the one who gets invited to friends' homes for dinner. Either way, it will be good things for the summertime entertaining!

Have a great week, and I will hope to see you this Wednesday morning at 9am for My Time with Mary Beth!


Blessings to you,

Mary Beth Roe
