We got a call from Daddy that he had left his wallet at home. He sheepishly wondered if we might swing by and bring it to him. Of course we want him to have his wallet, but "swing by" for us would mean a 20 minute drive each way, and Daddy would probably be too busy at work to even really get to see us. But we did it, we drove down, we saw a smiling daddy who was thrilled for a quick hug in the middle of his busy day, and then we were on our own. What to do? We decided to make a day of it! Catherine and I enjoyed lunch out, and it was wonderful to get to slow down, and listen, and to laugh and joke together. We walked over to a play area where Catherine was thrilled to get to ride the merry-go-round and the train, and she even found an adorable rocking horse to take for a ride. Oh, what joy! Please, always slow down, and enjoy this beautiful world around you. I sure was. I loved looking at those curls, those big, blue, eyes, and that giggling face wandering around enjoying her world.
