Happy Friday

Flowering tree in the village

Yesterday was one of those magical days we sometimes get in the winter. The frogs were chirping away like crazy and the robins were taking merry little baths in the puddles on the driveway.

It was sunny and so warm that when Megan and I walked the dogs at Big River, we didn’t need a sweater or a jacket. It was wonderful to feel the sun on our skin and watch the dogs frolic under the blue sky. We kept saying, “Can you believe it’s the middle of January?”

After we walked the dogs, we went to village to do some shopping and use the free wi-fi so Megan could order a new cell phone. Hers is four years old and the battery dies almost instantly, and a new battery costs almost the same as a new phone, so new phone it is.

Unfortunately, my iBook did not seem to enjoy the Verizon page, so we hopped in the car and went to Lu’s, where there is actual broadband internet and the Verizon page finally worked. Star and Schatzi played with their friends Harlow and Marco outside while Megan (finally!) bought her phone inside. We chatted for a while and somehow, by the time we got home, it was time to make dinner.

How did that happen?

Today looks like another beautiful day, so Lu, Megan, and I are planning to meet up with the dogs for a long walk. And this evening, we’re meeting Monica for a glass of wine at the Stanford Inn by the Sea. How’s that for a good start to the weekend?

    Must be nice, I also find all this strange, frogs??, boy they would have to get their winter wool clothing in this city what with all the snow and going down to -23 overnight, enjoy.

    Commenting in the wrong post. When clicking Submit, it launches you to Lou Reed’s video on YouTube. The same happens when you click on any field from a mobile device.

    I was going to say, good news for ‘A’. Even though it’s a small step, at least it’s in the right direction.

    Ah, the weirdness of technology! I deleted the link just in case.

    I’m so glad to hear she is improving, even though it’s slowly. I still find the whole thing shocking/astonishing.
