A Mellow Brick Road...: The Saturday Before Mother’s Day Sunday

Today was the Saturday before Mother’s Day SundayJ. The day started like a usual Saturday with Daddy and Bodhi up early, then Daddy off to work for a few hours. When Daddy got home, it was time for an adventure so Mommy helped load up Bodhi and Buddha in the carriage and off to the Farmer’s Market we went while Mommy had some Mommy time. We purchased a chocolate chip and sugar cookie (that’s two cookies if you’re keeping countJ), some lemon balm ice tea with honey (for Daddy) and a dozen Amish farmer’s brown eggs. We met one of Mommy’s friends at the market who said she recognized our famous mellow-brick road babiesJ. We told Tiffany Irwin-Barnes and her two beautiful children we would say hi to Mommy for her.

When we got home we enjoyed lunch and then down for a nap, but immediately after our nap we were off for another adventure, this one to find Grandmoo a special Mother’s Day gift. We found a beautiful antique armoire and got in touch with Sean Franky to lend us a hand in making the delivery. He is such a remarkably thoughtful young man, he was pleased to help so Mommy ran out to the country to pick him up and make the delivery while Daddy kept the two of you occupied. We went over to Grandmoo’s and arrived just in time to watch the gift deliveryJ.

Though fairly exhausted from the day’s adventures, we had one more adventure in store (as much for Mommy as for the two of youJ), we went to the circus! A modest version of the circus was at the Greentown 4-H Pavilion, and Mommy had free tickets for the two of you. We were entertained especially by a well-trained dog (a Jack Russell Mommy thought) dressed as a miniature elephant. We also saw a horse dressed up like a unicorn, a kangaroo in an outside cage, a miniature pony, and of course bought some cotton candy and a balloon for Buddha and a Dora inflatable for Bodhi. Bodhi you were especially impressed by the circus and applauded enthusiastically at all the acts, Buddha you were also sort of impressed. Mommy and Daddy, not so muchJ.

After the circus, we stopped by Sister Kelly and Brother Aaron’s house in Greentown. They have made a beautiful brick patio in the back of their house and had a cook-out for Cory and Aaron’s family. Mommy hadn’t eaten all day and had a sandwich and a beer, and she thinks the beer made her very sick just like eggs have been making her very sick. Daddy is worried about her, and wants her to go back to the doctor and have some tests. You both will deal with this someday so I will tell you now, your Mommy is very stubborn or hard-headed or medically speaking a bozo.

Hey you two angel babies, “night, night.”
