Sunday Afternoons.

I love Sunday afternoons. I love to be lazy and lay in the sun shine. We have a wonderful big window in our bedroom and the sun shines right on the bed. Papa and I often lay in the Sunday sun shine and talk and dream while the kids are napping. Often we are lulled to sleep by the laziness of it all, but other days we plan our week or like today we made several decisions we've been putting off and made some tentative plans for spring. We moved to the living room and the computer to figure out our Christmas gift. LOL. Yeah we're a bit late. We wanted to get cheese making supplies but we kept forgetting or not having enough time. So finally today we got it all written out what we want (we couldn't order online) and tomorrow Papa will call it in and ask some questions we need answers too. As soon as it gets here I'm sure we'll be neck deep in it and your likely to hear all about it. :) This Sunday Papa finally got me out in our new car. It's a little black Honda and we've had it for a couple weeks. He's been wanting me to test drive it since the day we brought her home. But alas I'm not the driver he is and I was avoiding it. I LIKE things to stay the same. I'm used to the Travelall. But I'm going to have to drive the car sometimes and so off I went. Oh wait. First I had a ten minute talk about this and that and the other thing.. most of which went in one ear and out the other (one would have come in handy I learned later). Papa even ran out and started her for me. As of yet she is not named but we'll get there. So I grabbed my purse thing (actually I use a fanny pack which comes in really handy if I need both hands) and a jacket and headed out. I got about half way to town and decided to head to the movie store. All the kids are sick or getting sick and sick days go by faster with some new entertainment. So I dug some change out and went and found a couple movies to keep the little people entertained this week, well after I managed to get the door open!! I was stuck for a minute as the inside handle is broken and a bit hard to open.. but it does help if you UNLOCK it first. Hee hee. I got home safe and sound though the car being so much lower then the Travelall feels like your FLYING when your really not even up to speed!! Never mind the lack of engine noise. Nice to hear my self think again while I'm driving. HEY I just realized that I might just like this new car after all. :) The car is 19 years old, the newest rig we've ever owned (by choice) and it's 19 years newer then our Travelall. I'll try and get a pic soon. But every time I see the thing it's dark out as it's Papa's work car. The days are getting longer, however slowly. Anyway I got to run it's almost movie time. The boys are almost done cleaning up toys, E is finally done eating and Papa is sweeping up the baby's mess.. got them all well trained!! LOL.
