lovely august days

i love lazy saturdays that become filled with spontaneous activity. days like today.

i woke up at noon to a call from nick telling me he and tiffany were on their way over to join debbie and me for a swim in the pool. they arrived an hour and a half later with lunch from kroger. we quickly ate, and then headed to the pool for an hour. the water felt great; it was just the right temperature, and the sun was shining brightly.

after swimming, we all piled into the convertible for a trip to best buy, since nick wanted to look at cameras. after a few impulse buys, it was off to the music store for debbie to search for a xylophone. since the music store was next to the mall, we of course had to stop at the food court for some ice cream. which obviously led to a plan to go to the cheesecake factory for dinner! after making some calls, we had a group of a nice round dozen people to head up to the galleria for cheeeeeeeesecake. num num num.

i can't quite put into words how much i like days like today... but on some days, everything just seems to fall into place. one activity rolls effortlessly into another and the laughs come in waves. you're with good friends and blanketed in good conversation. and things feel right with the world.
