Fun at Tea

I've had this happen to me a million times.  I can get bogged down with chores, and laundry, and grocery shopping, and cleaning, and all the zillions of little things it takes to run the show.  I like to be on top of things, so when those chores start piling up, I don't like it one bit.  On Friday of our spring break, Auntie Elizabeth wondered if we wanted to go to the Academy of Sciences and then to the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park.  I didn't leap at the chance.  There were errands to run, and then if we went it would be tough to get everyone ready to go, and then there's that long drive.......and on and on and on.  Thank goodness Auntie Elizabeth knows me so well.  She knows I love a good adventure, and she's great at putting things in perspective.  With a little encouragement from her, we were off on a fabulous day.  We loved the museum.  The butterflies were a huge hit!  We all loved the tea garden!  We could have walked around those beautiful paths all day, and it was so fun to stop for tea and treats.  Chores can always wait!  Don't waste a beautiful day.
