Using my superior mental prowess, I have deduced that today marks our “dating” anniversary at five years, three months. Not bad for having just hit the five-month mark in our marriage! ^_~
I had a relaxing Sunday. We went to Elrohir and Lenneth’s church to see if we liked it better (we did), and then carpooled up to Ashland and Medford, and spent the day shopping. It was very fun. I found a little rock shop in Ashland and purchased a fulgarite (fused soil surrounding a lightning strike, a little glassy tube) and a cube of limonite (altered pyrite or “fool’s gold”.) I was quite pleased with my new friends, and the reasonable prices. I can finally say sayonara to Tudor Square, I picked up our answering machine and dropped off our keys. Unfortunately, the Honda remained because it won’t start… we’ll have to tow it home.
Today I think I’m watching Marmalade Boy with Lenneth and Ariana, provided the child remembers… she’s pretty absent-minded when it comes to… everything.
