Yesterday started out pretty gloomy and then in cleared up into our sunniest summer day this year. I decided it was too nice to be at work, afterall - who knows when the next nice day is going to be, so I bugged out of work early.
I went home and mowed the lawns (LONG overdue that's a funny pun on so many levels, I kill me!) and then went inside to clean up a little. My friend Mel called and we hit the coastal trail for a little while. I was tight on time, but we made use of what time I did have and she biked while I bladed. I have been wanting to act like I was flying down this hill (if you are familiar with the trail, you know the hill coming down from Earthquake park) it's steep but not so steep that I'm scared, but steep enough that you pick up some good speed. I've been too embarassed / shy / whatever to put my arms out like I'm flying but i've often prayed that I would just take off...wouldn't that be a weird prayer for God to answer? But this time I just did it - I looked like an overstuffed bird coming down that hill, but I liked it so there!
I went home and got to making dinner, and my friend Kim whom I haven't seen in 15 years (we figured that out) came over for dinner with her son. Her husband is now stationed here and we found out the other was here through our moms who happened to run into each other. Weird. So here we are 15 years later...it was so good to reconnect with her - she's newer to the area so I decided we should go to the coastal trail again and her son loved it. Yesssss....I got another one hooked!
John came home just in time for dinner and Kim and I had tried a new recipe that thankfully worked out (chicked stuffed with apples and cheese - so good by the way).
what a nice night...i slept hard!
