So where was I with the week of fun I believe we ended with Monday...
OK Tuesday.... Megan, Kathy and I went horseback riding along with my friend Cindy's daughter Autumn... We went on an hour ride through a trail... I was surprised about the trail... it was pretty hard to do... Of course I was on one of the slower horses... Hey it’s been since 1997 since I have been on a horse... But we had fun... It just felt good to be out and about with my little sister... After the horseback ride we headed back home we stopped at Taco Bell in Longmont that was a trip... Two 16 year olds, one 13 year old and me... It was great times.... I have to smile about our experience... It brings a smile to my face even now.....
In the meantime my husband is about to start the pulled pork on the grill... I love the pulled pork it is great...
So we get home and we head out to Boulder to get Kathy’s nose pierced... so there we were on College Hill in Boulder at the piercing place... She gets her nose done and I have to say it looks cool on her... I mention to my dad who is with us... "The one person back home in Toledo that will have the most problem with it is Mary (my older sister)" Dads response is "who cares it is Kathy’s body she can do what she wants" GO DAD!!!! After that we go next door to this Old Tibet store where Kathy finds this beautiful dress and Megan finds this really awesome long skirt... Dad buys me a necklace (now I just have to find a chain that is longer) and he buys Kathy these really pretty earrings...
After that experience we head for Walgreen’s to get the pictures he dropped off for one hour photo and we go to King Soopers to pick up some other stuff for dinner and some odds and ends. After the trip to the grocery store we go and pick up Robbie from daycare... Then we head home and eat... Again my dad is impressed by Troy's cooking... He asks me do you eat this well every night... I say yes dad I do....
Tuesday night finds Kathy, Megan and I at Blockbusters.... One thing about Blockbusters is this... WAY WAY OVER PRICED..... Something about renting a movie for 5.00 for a week is dumb..... But of course we do anyways... We rent Office Space and The Shining... Comedy and Horror... So we get home that night and watch movies... pretty nice.... Sleep time for me was 11:00 sleep time for girls I don't know......
Wednesday the last day... We really didn't do much at all. I took the girls with me to get my pay check stub (direct deposit is cool) and took them to the mall... We have this pretty awesome mall called Flatirons... Nice.... we had a quick bite to eat then went and played with the dogs at Pedigree Shop... I saw this beautiful Saint Bernard and a beautiful Husky... I want them... they are just too cute!!!! I also take them to Build a Bear that was really fun... So we leave the mall and head home... The girls and I decided to head up to the Boulder Falls and we watched people go tubing down the Canyon River... Pretty cool... we head home after awhile... We eat dinner and then we decided to go to Hobby Lobby so dad can find a feather for THE PIMP hat... My dad comes across this beautiful shadow box for Troy... He says to me don't worry about the price this is the one for Troy... (I was in shock... see my dad when I was younger would have never done that... or at least I don't believe so) So he buys him this very expensive gift looks at me and says if there is anything that strikes your fancy Rose pick it up... I am in shock and can't bring myself to do that... He says to me also if there is anything that you really like please call me and let me know.... I want to buy you something.... Of course again I am in complete shock and just kind of say.... ummm well I will let you know if there is something at some other time... So then we head home and the girls want me to teach them how to make dream catchers so I do... Kathy's comes out beautiful. Megan a mess... so Kathy I believe took it home with her to make it for her. We then go to bed... 12:00...
Thursday morning I wake up around 6:45... Get the girls up get Robbie up Take a shower head out the door with them... Take Robbie to daycare and get Dad, Kathy and Megan to the airport to head home to Toledo.... I walk through with them to check their bags and head to security... where I say good bye... I cry... I miss them... I go to the car look around and sit there for a moment and think about the week... I had fun... LOTS OF FUN!!!
I head home... the van is quiet.... I look back at this week and think wow... I really did have a great time... I realize that I feel kind of empty... Before I know it I am home... I open the door to quiet... I sit down and look around the room... No more messes to clean up, I slowly put away the air mattress... the blankets... the pillows... A sense of calm goes through my body... and I sit again.... Remembering...
The smiles
The laughs
The tears
The memories I will have forever
Later Days
