Quick brainstorm of everything that I enjoyed about today:
- sitting on Matt Rooke’s dad’s old tree stand behind their old house hunting unsuccessfully for whitetail deer, being distracted by squirrel and chipmunks,
- Matt’s oatmeal with apples and cinnamon,
- Lara’s cookies,
- Aunt Allie’s chicken-sausage-and-bean-and vegetable soup,
- the fact that Matt’s Aunt Diana shot a buck and a doe today,
- the conversation with Matt and Lara on the way home, which ranged all over the place (and during which I probably talked too much),
- the understated gratitude I was able to express to You today throughout the day,
- the safe ride home,
- the service Aunt Allie and Lara provided us by preparing our food.
