Yay! Yay! Yay!
Jenny, Mark and Jack came to town for her
grandfather’s 92nd birthday (woo hoo Daddy Art!), and we got to eat
dinner together! I was so excited. Just love her and her family. We told Finley that we had been friends since 4th grade and we were nine. She liked that.
We met at Chicken Scratch on Sunday night, of
Memorial Day weekend, which proved to be pretty crowded, but just the right
amount of fun!
We picked a place in the shade, fooling
ourselves that we would be cool, but close to the playground; it was a good
plan though. It really wasn't that bad. The kids ran around, made new friends and got sweaty. Jack
climbed. He's gotten so tall. Man, how time flies.
We had Chicken Scratch's wonderful fried chicken - in a large biscuit, and the kids as chicken fingers with their tasty fries. Jenny and I tried the homemade hummus lettuce wraps. I know, we were at a place known for chicken, but the wraps were very good. And I knew that my kids would not eat all of their chicken; it's my little plan to eat my children's leftovers. Mostly it was wonderful to sit and eat and chat with my oldest, dearest
friend and watch our children play. Bliss.
Yum - strawberry paletas!
The kids opened birthday presents – always fun.
We were all quite excited to see Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive The Bus by Mo
Willems and a new Skippy John Jones book by Judy Schachner! And they got a Cat In the Hat game.
(We read both books last night and of course played the new game today!) Jack got us started reading books about Skippy John Jones a few years ago. We love his funny adventures as a Siamese cat pretending to be a Chiuaua.
Time for good-byes and hugs.
Always too soon.
Cherished time.
Smushy gushy girl that I am. Thank goodness.
