I had an extremely nice Mother's Day. Donny said he wanted to take me out to breakfast and I thought about it and how expensive it would be and how it's always so crowded that you're herded in and out like cattle and I said No thank you!
I told him I wanted to pack something for breakfast and go to one of our favorite hiking spots that we discovered last year and have a picnic breakfast and then go for a long hike. And that's exactly what we did. It was WONDERFUL. We spread out a blanket, got out coffee out and read the paper sitting by the water watching the bikers and the joggers and the walkers go by. And then we joined them ourselves, tackling two different trails, Rocky Run and Hidden Pond. Rocky Run was the trail that we did last year that I had such a hard time with - I was almost in tears because it was so hard for me and I didn't know why. I figured it was the thyroid problem but it was SO difficult that I thought my hiking/walking days were over.
I only realized later that I was anemic and that's why it was so hard. So I really wanted to redeem myself and try it again - piece of cake! Whew! When we were done hiking we spread the blanket out again and just laid in the sun and relaxd. Followed that with a trip to Barnes & Noble to get a piece of cheesecake and an Iced Caramel Macchiato.
I would have to say it was The Perfect Day.
