A walk with my husband, a bike ride, a flat tire, grass seed and a movie

We skipped church this morning.

Sometimes we just need a family day.

Asia and I started the day with walking the dog and a stop at Starbucks. Love being with him. (Asia, not the dog. Although I like her too.)

Then we loaded all our bikes into a friends' truck and drove down to Centennial trail, where we rode and rode and rode. Perfect weather. Perfect scenery. A lovely ride. Until Asia popped a tire. Then it became a lovely walk/ride/wait for Dad to catch up.
We came home and a gal I'm mentoring came over for a walk. We walked. And talked. Good.

Then Asia and I dove into fixing our dead front lawn. Broke up the soil. Added new seed. Worked our little tails off.

And after a shower and dinner, which Savannah helped me make, we're sitting in front of The Guardian.

It was a great day.

I'm tired.
But it's a good tired.
Gotta love a good tired.

    I love bike rides!! Sounds like you had a great time. I also envy you a Starbucks within walking distance! I would be the fittest person ever. [smile] And walking there alone with my hubby would make it even better. Happy week!

    Claire and I skipped church, too, and went and saw Ratatouille with Bob. Sometimes you do just need a family day. :)

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
