Our view at dinner. The dogs under the table while we eat drive us all crazy so out they go. This little old lady will be 18 soon. She’s fading fast and we won’t have much longer with her. I can’t wrap my mind around that. Not even a little bit.

A Saturday out just running errands, lunch and a pedicure with my girl. I love soaking up the time for just the two of us. It’s quiet, calm, happy, pleasant. No bickering with the boys. We laugh. A lot. It feels easy. In between stops we’d either chat or she’d read. We must have had quite a few stops because she finished this book and started another.

Aquarium visit with some homeschool friends today.
