Not just Foxfield and Dogwood, but Prom, too.
Today is a big day. It is not only the day of Foxfield and the Dogwood Parade, but tonight is PROM! No, I’m not going, the boy is. Somehow, the boy negotiated only $2.50 to pay the girl to wash his car. I enjoyed the negotiation, particularly now that I know I can get away with paying her $2.50 to do mine.
(Large thunderclap interrupts this post. Oh no! I hope the rain either holds off or passes so we can take prom pictures in our blooming front yard.)
The girl has been a good helper today. We got her hair trimmed first thing this morning and watched a woman getting her hair done for her wedding. We then grocery shopped, and baked a banana cake together. We are stocked up on bananas, not because we are cool and belong to a CSA and got a huge load of bananas this week. No. We were just poor planners and bought some at the store and then a 3lb. bunch at Sam’s. We’ll frost it with chocolate butter frosting when it cools.
Tonight, while the prom goes down at the JPJ, we’ll grill some steaks and corn on the cob, relax and maybe watch a movie.
The weather (except for the ominous thunderclap) is beautiful. Darn near perfect. Mark’s been doing all kinds of outdoor work, putting in paving stones, planting grass seed and an herb garden. I’m taking a break and will, in a moment, do piles and piles of laundry. I will never get over my love for weekends.
It’s a good day.
