Last night Mom suggested a morning bike ride, so the four of us at the house loaded ourselves up (yes, me too--stumbling tiredly around the kitchen and mumbling in monotones) and left the house by 8 a.m. It was a pretty perfect way to start the day: sunny, cooler, less traffic. 4 miles down the road called FM 2186 and then back. And Mom made breakfast burritos. Yum. She also invited a couple of friends of hers and my dad's for dinner, and then Cely had a friend over. Some of us watched the World Cup final today. After a truly fantastic meal, Cely's friend Jacquey convinced all of us to play a game or two. Let me just say, that 10 year old is the least shy, most opinionated girl I've ever had occasion to meet. I alternated between wanted to smack her and laughing hysterically at her misuse of words. For example, she calls Cely "Celery." Then when we played Taboo, a clue was given: "Something you have," and the first thing she shouted was "Numchucks"! I fell out of my chair giggling. She's also a shrieker when she gets upset or excited--till my dad had remonstrate her. Ah well. In good fun. And in tiny doses, she's ok.
A great Sunday :)
