When the weather is so out of the norm, I always feel like it's a holiday or, a free day and today was. With nothing on my task list (besides the normal afternoon pick ups) I was footloose and fancy free. I picked up my girlfriends and we trucked on down to the ferry, where we met another friend and took the ferry to the city. It was a beautiful ride, and after we disembarked, we had grown-up-lady-lunch at a fancy, waterfront restaurant. It was really nice, I felt so relaxed and blessed to have such good friends. We have had these birthday lunches for almost 10 years, other friends have joined and left, moved to our city, moved away, but our lunches have gone on, and as I looked at those friends, I realized that I am luckier than I ever imagined.
Since Friday is Barn Day, Prima and I spent the evening at the barn and this week TR joined us. It was lovely, Prima groomed and saddled up the horse and went arena riding with S. TR and I sat and watched until the flies became unbearable, then we went into the 'lounge' area and read until Prima was done. It was such a pleasant way to spend the evening, up in the woods, watching our daughter engaged in something she really loves and is good at. She looks so at ease in the saddle, getting more and more confident, and more and more comfortable with the horse. I really hope this works well for her.
Tomorrow I will go to see LS, for her birthday, which I am really looking forward to, so the next few entries will be more of a chronicling of my visit, and less of a task accounting. Although my big errand there will be to go talk to the school that Prima will go to.
I must go pack, I do always leave it to the last!
