Celebrations and observations

 

Had some special days in May. We celebrated the 10th anniversary of our first date by going hiking and searching for letterboxes. It was all fun and relaxing until we went for dinner and (after dinner) realized B had forgotten his wallet and I only had a bit of cash -- no plastic.We were 30 minutes from home and I had visions of police cars and handcuffs. 

B had to ransack the car for change and we were able to pay our bill (with enough silver to fill a jam jar). No tip.

I was horrified  and embarrassed beyond belief. B kept laughing, seeing the absurdity of it all. He kept saying 'just think, you can blog about this and later it will be funny!'. 

Yeah, not laughing quite yet.

 

For Mother's Day we went for a picnic in the park, sat in the shade and played cards while TJ avoided getting his picture taken. It was lovely. Then he helped me shop for and plant flowers in the pots in my garden -- an uncommonly generous thing to do for a young man who would rather be playing video games.
