saturday mornings

It was my turn to drive ballet carpool today- I was glad.

Glad to have a few peaceful moments by myself during the hour & fifteen minute wait.

First I went to the fabric store & picked

out this for an apron I want to make for a wedding giftThen I stopped in here- Great Harvest Bread to get a scone.

Isn't this the cutest store front?

Back to the ballet studio to read alone in the car- bliss.

I'm reading Eat Cake-

because heaven knows there is not enough cake around here...?When I was growing up as a teen I played church ball. I was horrible at it. I didn't necessarily want to play- in those days you just had to. Mildred Lee our coach & one of the player's mom would usually take us to practice/games on Saturday mornings. It's great memory for me. I think now about the sacrifice she made to do this, even though her daughter was playing- surely we weren't always easy & I wasn't even talented- slowly I got better- thanks to her. By my senior year I could play softball, pretty good... well I could play.

My favorite Saturdays were the ones where after practice she would take us to get a Slurpee. Great memory there. So- I love to take these girls to get one too.

I hope they will have fond memories of Chloe's mom driving them to ballet & those occasions when she took them to get a Slurpee.

Sometimes it's the simple things.
