Julie - Out and About

  The first day of Spring has arrived - and the weather is cooperating beautifully.  The temptation was far too great to spend the day indoors, so I hit the dusty trail. (well, the muddy, somewhat melted trail, anyway) Dressed for the cooler morning, a song in my heart and in my ear buds There's a nice hiking trail fairly close to my house, so I ventured out to commune with nature (and commune with the soundtrack to Disney's BABES IN TOYLAND) The sun was bright, as was my attitude I passed a few joggers and fellow hikers along the way.  Nothing earth shaking, but smiles and head nods were exchanged.  As usual, when I got to the end of the trail I didn't want it to end.  So I took the round about way home and stopped off at a convenience store to pick up a snack.  A store that just happens to be across the street from some dear friends.

Sarah, Me, Christy and Linda Which brings us to Sunday, which is where it all went south.  It was my last full day of frills and fancies.  The Sister Friends were all busy (they DO have lives after all) so I spent the day with laundry, dishes, and planned to go out in the evening for some grocery shopping and maybe coffee and cake.
