I followed Mike downtown this morning so we could take our truck into the mechanic to have it worked on, because it won't pass the emissions test until the check engine light turns off and in order for that to turn off we need to replace the catalytic converter (whatever that is).
ANYWAY, my point isn't to talk about my car wo's... my point of this post is to talk about what I saw when I was driving to take our truck in this morning. I was driving on 7th east making my way over to I-215 when I saw a little mother on the side of the road with her little ones all in toe. They were waiting to cross the street.
So, I slowed to a stop and hoped that the other cars in the lane next to me would notice this mother and stop as well. It took about 2 or 3 cars to pass at top speed before a nice lady noticed that this mother wanted to make her way across this busy street and the nice lady stopped too. The mother was a Duck and the little ones were her ducklings. There were about 8 of them all following their mum across 7th East... waddle, waddle, waddling across the street.
It was one of the sweetest things I have seen in quite some time.
Morning Walk
Mending Fences
This last weekend has been the weekend of making things right with some of the people that mean the most to me. I have been mending some fences and I'll tell you what... it feels GREAT!!! For a year and a half I have had turmoil in my life with several people, both friends and family. Then, between Saturday and yesterday Mike and I just decided to make right the wrongs that had occurred. (It actually took more time than two days, but having to explain that would make me have to go into the time line of both occurrences and yadda, yadda, yadda... just take my word for it)
On Saturday night we had some friends over that we thought would never set foot in our house again. The things that were said and done back when were set right by apologies and hugs... then good eats, followed by dessert. Then on Sunday, since Mike and I were already feeling like we were making things right with people, decided to drive to my Mom's house and settle a family squabble that has been going on for some time now. Again, the things that were said and done back when were set right with apologies and hugs... but, no good eats or dessert followed that time.
Then when I went to bed last night the weirdest thing happened to me... Even though I was awakened by Tucy 2-3 times, I slept better then I have in quite some time. It's amazing what two small words can do for you... "I'm sorry" is so easy to say, but for some reason so hard to do. Mending these fences made me realize two things... 1- I should never again let my Pride get in the way of making a wrong a right. And 2- I am glad that I don't have any more fences to mend, but if I did, I would go out and mend it right away, because it feels Fantastical!!!
My Little Bunny
Mike took some pictures of Tucy on Easter... I thought I would post a few since I haven't put up any new ones of her lately.
I bought her this bunny the night before Easter. I was going to get her one that was bigger than the one she is holding, but decided against it. I am glad now that I didn't go for the bigger bunny... I think it would have swallowed her whole. As you can see this bunny is just about as big as she is and it wasn't all that big to begin with. It is now displayed on top of her dresser in her room.
