too much fun!

Here's my weekend story
Pretty much an endurance contest
but lots of fun
I took off Friday to see my baby cheer in her first school pep rally, to say goodbye to the seniors
She was so thrilled she was in tears when it was over. I had to leave before we both blubbered.

Saturday I made it to my 7:30 Yoga class for the first time in a while.
I was so spiritual and invigorated I took my mom for a walk and kept her reasonably positive. I got her laundry to do (haven't done it)
It was such a beautiful day
never mind the dishes
never mind the knee high grass (let's just say we're going for an English country garden look)
I have got to get to the woods.
I woke up Caitlin who looked at me like I had suggested going to the moon, woke up Tom who only plaintively asked for coffee
and off we went



we hiked about 5 miles.
On the way home, our friend Jerry called to ask if we'd like to go sailing.
Now the only thing better than having a boat is having a friend with a boat so off we went.
When we docked, there was a frantic call on my phone form Caitlin.
It was our night to cook and host the hospitality program for the homeless at church.
I had completely forgotten.
So, in the clothes I had worked out in
sailed in
hiked in
with no toothbrush
but a mint to kill the beer breath,
off I went to church
Home to change (thankfully ) the next morning
back to church
taught the teen Sunday school class
home to make pigs in blankets for yet another cheer leading hoo-hah
then on to my dear Erin's graduation.
Darlin child
Never like anyone else

It really took a village to get her through


Wishing you all too much fun,
Marti

It sounds like you had a great weekend! I have not been hiking in a long time. I should go hike out to the water falls. Amber graduates in a few weeks! I can't wait.

     Sounds like a great weekend. It occurs to me that we met just shortly before our two graduated from grammar school. One more year and they'll be (hopefully) in college. It really went quickly. Your baby is darling in her cheerleading outfit.
