I’ve had a semi-four day weekend; almost like a real vacation!
Being irreplaceable (tongue-in-cheek) at work has its drawbacks, like not being able to take a full day off. I took PTO on Thursday and Friday, yet both mornings I went in to the office to deliver the “must have” reports; a couple hours each day. Then however, I was able to slip out and forget the office for the rest of the day. Thursday was Jeremy’s birthday and we spent most of the day together, his little family and us. We went to LaGrange, had lunch at Country’s BBQ, helped Wendy’s mom & dad with a contract for a condo they are buying in Panama City. (Very glad to help with that!) Thursday night we ate at Texas Roadhouse with Tara’s parents joining in on the fun. A very full day, almost like a real vacation!
On Friday, Jeremy and I took Brodie to see some 883 Sportsters at a couple local bike shops. Sure, he’s only 8 months old, but he’s already making motorcycle sounds. bbbbrrrmmmm bbbrrrmmmm!
Saturday I played with a bunch of old laptops trying to get one good one out a few bad ones. I can never say no to rescuing old hardware, especially when it’s free, just like Wendy can never say no to rescuing animals. Our house is a haven for old cats, dogs, and computers. Go figure.
Anyway, now it is Sunday, the kids and grands are at church. Wendy is taking this moment to touch up some trim in a recent renovation and here I sit gazing out across my backyard again. It seems the semi-four day weekend has slipped by so quickly, but of course time is time, and it’s ever unchanging in its speed. Having spent the days with loved ones though, seals these days in my heart and memory, and holds them there timelessly. It’s been our treat having them here, we’ll miss them all over again when they’re gone.
It’s quiet.
