Quite a few years ago, I had this plan for Memorial Day that involved the Hamptons, seafood, a really skimpy swimsuit and getting to know the guy I had just began dating a little better. As with most things in my life at the time, Castle got in the way. He offered his own way to spend the long weekend; fireworks and bonfires, a heated pool on his large estate.
This weekend I'm getting to finally experience those promises made. And it's just a reminder of how lucky I am. The past couple of weeks have been hard, some very dear friends have returned home, but my family is still here. Two kids that keep me laughing and amazed, and a husband that would lasso the moon if I asked him to.
I won't, mostly for practical reasons involving tide levels and ocean currents, but it's nice that have a reminder of all the good in the midst of the bad.
And, really, how can I be upset at anything when this is what greets me when I get home from the precinct?

You can both come with us if you'd like. The house is huge. Plenty of room. And you're family to me, so.... Yeah.
