a snapshot of life today.
no school day to honor mlk.
no school day to honor mlk.
morning coffee in bed with a fashion review
from the golden globes last night.
early morning chats with sarah to catch up on
the weekend neighborhood gossip and news.
the laughter of an afternoon game of football in the backyard.
the minivan sunroof wide open with music i've never heard
bouncing of the walls and floating up thru to the blue sky.
dragging three boys on errands with the bait of
an outdoor patio lunch.
the pet store was a magnet - fish, rabbits & mice running a
marathon in a circle wheel provided an hour of watching and giggles.
barnes & noble is always a leisurely event.
we all go our separate ways.
i'll find colin sitting on the floor by the football section.
i'll find nathan in the puzzle section, the joke book section &
the rick roden shelfs.
i'll find justin in the teen section with a handful of sci-fi books.
we manage to leave without spending an entire
paycheck today.
we finish our errands - a new frame for nathans
christmas dallas football poster, rosinas frozen italian meatballs available
only at one local walmart & a redbox pickup.
off to sit in the sun with mighty fine burgers, 2 cokes in
a glass bottle with a bendy straw, a chocolate milkshake &
a paper cone filled with real crinkle fries.
a bottle of heinz ketchup for each boy.
a hot spot in the sun for me.
laundry. homework. dinner. dishes.
talking with mom while hanging nates poster.
showers. prayers. preparing am coffee.
a day filled with nothing special.
a day filled with everything special.
today.
