Friday

I knew Friday would be a special day: a trip to the beach with school, a sewing date with friends...

Here is how it started:

A "healthy" lunch packed for Noah by himself.

(I usually try to include more than one food group when packing his lunches.)

A morning at work grading essays, a quick change for Janneke and me (and the student of the week!),

a relaxing lunch at a french bistro, a missed phone call, a fun day catching waves and enjoying good company on the white sands of Jax Beach... one of those waves stole my trusty sunglasses. A quick trip to the Town Center to get a new pair, a blarring warning to enter a store immediately because of the coming tornado,

a frantic drive through pedestrians to find a spot at the packed mall,

a desperate dash into Dick's for safety...


(Good choice because they have so many TVs-- and huge windows, but it's better than being stuck at the Gap for an hour.)

a phone call to Michelle to let her know I would be late for the sewing date, to which she asked, "Didn't you get my message? Erin (our other sewing partner) had her baby." A week and a half early. This baby is as kind and considerate as his mother!

A detour to the Gap,

for an hour,

a quick stop to get those glasses, a late drive home.
