Someday Sunday

Today I woke up with a surprise.. my birthday wasn't over. Lying on the kitchen table was a large shoe box with a pair of nice, leather boots in them. For the most part I was bemused because I didn't know what they were for. Then I see a card from Dear that tells me that at 4pm I had a two hour horseback riding lesson. I was really surprised. I had already had an instinct about riding horses earlier that week but when it didn't come about on Thursday I had to struggle and come to terms with that, for once, I was wrong. Well I wasn't and I don't know what was stronger... happiness over going horseback riding or happiness that I was indeed right. (maybe the latter) Well, long story short.. I didn't go. The instructor called and said she couldn't do it and so we plan on rescheduling.

Dear finally got to work on his yard..which probably made the neighbors happy. Aidan helped as well. McMama took her to the dollar store to buy a plastic rake and so one little girl had a very nice morning hanging out with her Daddy. Of course her "helping" consisted of raking the leaves Dear had just put in a pile back out of the pile... but... hey... they both enjoyed each other. I loved watching her trail along behind him chattering happily. She even helped him with his tools when he had to fix something. It is scenes like this that make my heart happy. I MISS those weekends...those simple stay around the house, rake the leaves, hanging out with the kids weekends. Is it next year yet?

Later...

McMama and I ended up having an adventure downtown... and then Dear and I went clothes shopping and then out to dinner.

* It is so NICE to own clothes that fit and look good.
*McMama got Ainsley a rake as well.. so she "won't be left out" :-)
