Saturdays

I like Saturdays. Typically they are a day to sleep in, kick back, relax a bit from the fast-paced week. A day to catch up with odds and ends at home, sometimes washing up a week's worth of dishes while jamming out on Pandora.

This was not a typical Saturday. Let me tell you what I did:

(To start with I'm not even at home but staying with Mom while my sister is away.)

- Was at Red Rock Auto before 8 a.m. to get my car serviced. (Unfortunately, they didn't have time to do it.)

- Took a brisk walk in the park in the crisp morning air. (This wouldn't have happened if they would've had time to service my car.)

- Returned home, washed and hung out a load of laundry, baked a cake

- Sped over to MSF and sold wheat to many and sundry farmers for 2 hours

- Heard a new song on the radio - "Call It Grace" by Unspoken

- Rushed "home" and grabbed a bite of lunch with Mom.

- Went to Fairview Service for new windshield wipers.

- Took Mom to visit a neighbor lady who had a birthday.

- Took a nap

- Gathered the eggs

- Paid car registration

- Signed up for a new healthcare plan

- Fed the cat

- Made supper

- Played games with Mom

And then Mom and I rolled and braided our hair and pretended we were "little ole ladies" and had a tea party (only it was hot chocolate with marshmallows because Mom doesn't like tea) and sat and talked "little ole lady" talk.

And that was a lovely end to my day...
