The Perfect Day

"I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.” – Lillian Smith

*Happy Sigh*

Today was A-Mazing! Got up right on schedule (at noon that is) and then hung out around the house for a bit. While the boys played threw a football around I did yoga in the front yard. The weather today was unbelievably perfect so we meandered around downtown Batavia. There was a cute trail by the river that we explored and then put our feet in. It was such a beautiful day I even put a daisy in my hair!


After exploring B-Town we came back to the house and spent the afternoon just relaxing. I sat in the sun with my bare feet in the grass and read through Shel Silverstein’s “A Light in the Attic.” Shy and Danny ended up joining me in the backyard so I read them poems to pass the time. As much fun as we had today, it’s sad to think days like today rarely happen in Tempe.


When Mrs. Schmitt got home Shy and I helped her pick (and eat) the strawberries from the side of the house then helped make Moroccan chicken for dinner. For dessert Mrs. Schmitt made quick apple cake. After eating we decided it’s called that because it gets eaten so quickly!


Tonight’s agenda is not finalized yet but possible options include dominoes, Wii Mario Kart, go carts, bowling, and eventually meeting another Batavia friend to celebrate another 21st birthday. Tomorrow we are heading to the city and I’m so excited to see Chicago for the first time! We’ll be taking the train into town in the morning and then spend the day exploring all things Chi-Town.
