This morning we woke up early and played a bit before and after breakfast. I also took trash to the dump. A little before nine we all got in the car and drove out to a farm in Santa Fe that Liz had found online. They were selling cinnamon rolls and some vegetables, and we got a little of each. They also had a fun play area that Luke enjoyed. We met another family with a son Luke’s age and chatted with them for a while. Time went by so quickly that we realized we needed to leave and go to the farmers market while the bread sellers were still there. So we went and picked up our bread and had lunch at home. This afternoon we went to Yanahli Park for “Hike and Seek”, which involved looking for little notecards in the forest. Finally we came home for dinner and the bedtime routine.

I woke up in the wee hours this morning and couldn’t fall back asleep. Luke woke up pretty early too and I read to him some and then we played hide and go seek. I drove him up to school and we chatted the whole way. Drop-off went well with just a little tearing up, but he went to the cozy corner and relaxed. I drove home and after doing a few things headed up to the Mountain. I did some computer work and organizing at the cottage, then went next door to see Debbie. She is having a hard time because her dad is about to start home hospice. She and Autumn will be flying up to Massachusetts on Saturday to be with him. She had two ladies helping her make candles and I prepared the cardboard and packing peanuts for disposal. This evening I have just been reading and relaxing.

We met my parents at Lauren’s house and all had lunch. Luke enjoyed playing with Wild Dog. I left home a little after five and drove up to the Mountain, stopping at Home Depot in Winchester on the way.
