Know what I could get into?  Colonial British camping while at the park.  You know, bring the cane chair and side table: something on which to set my laptop and drink.  Portable umbrella and rug underfoot.  I could sit all day long in the manner.  It would need to be completely over the top and ridiculous, I think. Our park excursion lasted four hours yesterday.  I did not have all of the accoutrements, and instead settled in on a nearby park bench while the girls played, listening to NPR podcasts and writing in my sketchbook.  And it is a good thing we played this long, because today it is dismal and rainy, not a day for playgrounds.  So I will think of yesterday as an early Mother's Day present.  A perfect day with my two favorite girls outside in ideal weather with an entire park all to ourselves for endless play and relaxation.  So thanks girls!  I had a great time! And to all you moms out there, and mine (grammy), have a super duper mother's day!  Oh, and to my grandmother (mayna) happy happy birthday tomorrow!  I wish we could be with you to celebrate your day!  I love you both!
