Today I had
high hopes of being able to go walking again for a little exercise, but my feet
had a different idea. Instead I took it easy reading, working on family
history, watching Olympics, and doing a little laundry.
On the other
hand, my daughter Lexy and her friend, Jessi, had bigger plans. They organized
an outdoor movie party in our backyard for the kids that were in their drama
class the past year. At 3:00 this afternoon, they popped homemade popcorn,
baked cookies, made signs and set up the backyard with blankets for people to
sit on. They hung up a sheet on the fence to project the movie on and got the
speakers, laptop and movie set up. They had about 13 or 14 friends show up to
enjoy the evening as the sun went down. They ended up having a blast.
I was
very impressed how organized they were with everything involved. It’s nice to
know that even though my life is ‘on hold’ for the time being, my children’s
lives are moving forward filled with fun, adventure, and opportunities, just as
they should be.
