It was neat to get a text from my son Dave on Thursday, asking if I'd like to meet him for lunch yesterday. Would I? Hmmm. You bet!! When? Where? (Where was a no-brainer as Bones in Pleasant Valley is "the" meet-and-greet watering hole up here.) For once, the girls cooperated as I raced through barn chores and I was able to get to PV on time. The temperature held in the 70s and it was a perfect day for a motorcycle ride; Dave's wasn't the only Harley parked in front. We sat out on the patio under a shady umbrella to eat, drink, and talk. With nothing else on our agendas, and on a weekday there was no crowd waiting for our table, we were able to share some rare one-on-one time for the whole afternoon. That sends a mother over the moon.
Just when I thought the day couldn't get any better, it did! Shortly after returning home, I received a call from Clay who also had the day off and time to talk. We do have short, "Hi, how ya doing?" conversations, but not often long catch-up calls. Great minds think alike, and it turns out Clay had just bought a leaf blower too. (Mine will have more voltage and power, ha ha!)
Time is a precious commodity, and I so appreciate when it is gifted.
Need I say it? It was a good day.
