A Saturday
A Saturday afternoon and the house is quiet. Carrie and her family came for an early Easter. It was wonderful. Nicholas seems to have grown several more inches in height. Colleges have ben visited for Nick’s 2026 graduation year. Megan brought Jarrod to meet us. Jarrod and Megan have been in college together for several years. Megan will be through with her college in May. Carrie’s store keeps her busy. Jeremy is checking out different employment options. The world keeps on spinning.
Our plans for a hot meal came off without a hitch. I can see leftovers for us. Who doesn’t like leftovers!
Megan asked to get out the step ladder as she needed one more time up in the huge Maple tree in our yard. Jarrod joined her. Oh for the memories that Dennis and I have. Sweet.
Our Easter Sunday is going to be quiet. Dennis’ son Ken, having come to Minnesota for the summer, plans on stopping in. He has retired from driving for Heartland and is going to help someone out hauling grain from Northern Minnesota to the Shakopee terminals and return with a load of fertilizer to the northern Minnesota area.
It got quite nice out today. No winds to speak of. The morning doves are cooing. It is a sound that has always brought comforting feelings to me.
I am out in my bedroom porch with not much in plans, just reflecting on today, the yesterdays and what will come in the tomorrows.
For now, I think I will thread a needle and do a bit of stab and poke stitching. Dennis seems content at his computer playing solitaire. This afternoon is the peace that passes all understanding.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
