Sydney and I set up and tore down for church yesterday. All was going well until we were ready to lock the doors and realized there was a wheelchair-bound elderly woman still sitting in the front lobby. After a bit of conversation I learned that she was expecting the Gadabout to come along, but she didn’t remember when it was to come. We’re always afraid of having something left behind (sippy cups, toys, books, keys) for us to discover when we’re shutting the building down, but this was a new one! Thankfully, after a short while the Gadabout pulled up to the curb.
Later that afternoon we picked blueberries, most of which actually made it to the freezer only because we also picked peaches. I’ve been going through peaches at an insane rate recently, so I think Sydney was eager to buy enough to keep me satisfied for once. Well, we definitely did that, but now we have more than five large serving bowls filled with peaches, sitting around our house. I thought they looked a bit green when we picked them, but they now seem to be plenty ripe–and all of them at once! You can guess what kind of meals we’ll be having at our house in the near future . . .
Overall, a lovely day, and all without even a peek at our schoolwork. Sometimes it’s nice to take a break, even it’s the kind of break that makes you pretty tired by the end of the day!
