Today is E and K's second anniversary. K has a mantra to help him remember the date because he knows how important that is. Ready? "May the fourth be with you." As you might guess, he's a Star Wars fan. Randy and I were married the day after my birthday; he figured it would be easier to recall both dates that way. And he does! I will put e to bed tonight so her parents can go to the new Avengers movie.
My weekend at home was pleasant. I went to church earlier than usual to practice because I was invited by Linda to her birthday breakfast at Crab Cove beach. What a lovely time that was, sun, breezes, delicious food and meeting new women, with lots of laughing and cheerful conversation. On the way home I stopped at Kohl's to buy another pair of capris; I have 2 pairs here, but one doesn't have pockets and I need to keep my phone with me to ensure I hear the alarm reminding me it's time for e's medicine. (That would sound odd to anyone without a cell phone; I set alarms on mine daily.) I found denim capris as well as a couple of shirts.
Sunday afternoon Randy attended the installation service of a friend at First Pres, so Dena came over for a game of Scrabble before she took me to the airport. Yes, we felt the earthquake, just a little bump.
Last night we had a thunderstorm. I didn't hear much rain, but when e and I took our morning walk we saw some large puddles. One even had a couple of ducks swimming in it. The air felt fresh and a bit cooler. I now see e beginning to stir via the monitor, so it's time to feed her.
Ducks in a puddle on a Phoenix walk - what an unexpected image! In a few months e will be pointing and saying "quack" because of all the early vocabulary stimulation she's getting!
ReplyDeleteEvery time we have a tornado or tropical storm, I always tell people that I prefer earthquakes! They are quick, come without the stress of watches and warnings, and are less frequently catastrophic. I hope e goes down well for you!
