picnic in the shade

Going to Walmart might not sound like a great outting to you but we had not been there since before June.  We shopped till I was ready to drop and then bought take out and had part of it in the shade of some trees.

I am a cheap date!  But it was fun and different from our usual days.  We had to hire someone to stay with Mother.  Doctor said he would get her a "lifeline" emergency bracelet, and we are working on increasing her aide time.  I need it!  Mother needs it!

Mother spent lots of time laughing this morning.  I am so glad that she found joy in some silly things we did.  I think it would be wonderful to record moments everyday that promise to be special memories or just special pauses in the course of a day.

1).  The warm purring of a kitten as it snuggles against your hand.

2).  The sunrise as it throws it color across the sky as a ball tossed in a game.

3).  The sound of a  truck grumbling past the house.

4).   The giggle of my mother talking about her upcoming 90th birthday.

And each  day has so much to offer! Peace!

90 :) that's a worthy age, they say so many funny things that just bring a smile.

Your shopping day sounds full and fun.......exhausting but with a hmmmmmm, quiet content :) Rache
