A Near Perfect Busy Sunday

Started the day with a meeting at shul at 9:30 sharp. ND and I went there on the bike. The meeting was over in an hour which meant the fun could begin and we weren't still dawdling at home.

 - Bike to a Farmer's Market. Not much there, but we did get some of the best strawberries ever.

 - Bike to grocery store and fill the bike with groceries for Shavuot until we couldn't get another thing in.

 - Stopped at a garage sale where we FINALLY bought an outdoor table with 4 chairs for only $35. (Obviously I couldn't carry it on the bike. Came back shortly with the Yaris... two trips in fact, one for table and one for chairs.)

 - Went to Nature Day at Flat Rock Brook. I definitely prefer our quiet walks together there. But even the crowd wasn't bad when we got a canoe ride, an animal show with a porcupine, wallaby and chinchilla, the chance to pet a corn snake and to eat Ben & Jerry's. I was pleased to see that ND was not so interested in visiting all the booths. The main thing she wanted was to poke a stick into the pond and look for frogs. 

 - Back home to have dinner outside on our new table.

 - Put ND happily to bed with a story about her getting to turn into a frog and go exploring and eating bugs with them.

 - Now off to bed myself, I hope.
