Downtown with family and friends

I got a phone call today from a friend who exclaimed, “We have the best gynecologist EVER!” It has been that kind of day all day; random, jolly and full of silly moments.

I woke up early this morning and enjoyed a misty morning bike ride. The air had the slightest chill and sun was bright through the trees. It was all very picturesque until I hit the Land of the Lost sized spider web while crossing a bridge and had a small girlie fit that included monkey noises, “Ewe ew ew ew!”. Luckily no one saw this display but a squirrel. (I can imagine him blogging about it right now.) My dd slept in. Dh got up a bit later and walked a dog before heading off to work. When Dd awoke we had the yummiest breakfast ever, got ready and headed down town. We stopped at the library, said “Hi” to a friend and checked out some DVDs. Dd picked out an Agatha Christie mystery and a sign language video. I grabbed a couple things that interested me. We took the trolley to the farmer’s market and bought some juicy peaches, which we ate on the river bank under a shade tree. After resting there we took off to the health food store to by some yummy tempeh for tonight’s dinner. (We’re eating vegan and going booze free for at least a month. We vowed this after all eating like pigs and swilling too much beer over the Independence Day weekend and feeling really bloated and gross. I swear my colon is going to punch me in my face if I don’t let it detox.) From there we headed to the fabulous Etc. coffee house and met up with some buddies. A homeschooled friend of my daughters was hanging out with her English tutor. They meet a couple times a month for tutoring at the coffee shop. They’re booth great chicks whom I love to run in to. The tutor showed me a cucumber she had grown from her garden. I have never been introduced to produce so enthusiastically before. Still, I understood her zeal. I to have planted my first garden this year and it is a thrill. My buddy who had called earlier to rave about the quality of our shared gyno also joined us for some snacks and conversation. We even saw one of our fellow zombies extras at Etc! I love small towns! Dd ended up walking home with her friend and they should be calling soon to tell me they are ready to go swimming. I hitched a ride with my bud back to my car and decided that while it was not the most eventful or unusual day, it needed to be shared with the world.
