Mrs. Sheri is chasing a butterfly

My friend Mrs. Sheri has an interesting outlook on Saturdays. As much as possible, she doesn’t make plans. She goes where she thinks she needs to go and gets done whatever she feels like.

Yesterday we gave that a try. In the morning, we chased kids around the house. When Ladybug went down for her nap, Butterfly and I fluttered off to find me a wheel barrow. We returned with on perfect for my work…and one that’s just her size.

Mrs. Sheri and Mr. Rickie, whom we refer to as our girls’ adoptive grandparents, joined us for sandwiches, chips and some of their famous pickles. Butterfly has loved Mrs. Sheri’s pickles since she was one year old, so today she ate enough sandwich so pacify us and filled the rest of her belly with pickles.

After lunch, we all took off for Wesleyan College. Saturday was their annual “Wesleyan Market” where a few local vendors set-up shop and peddle their wares. But, since Wesleyan has a beautiful campus, we spent the first hour walking around the lake and trying to catch some of the wildlife. (The pictures shown here are were all taken on our adventure. Mrs. Sheri is chasing a butterfly in the top picture and a turtle is chasing a duck in the second one.) Once we finished that, we headed over to the market where the girls shared awesome chocolate-chip cookies and I devoured some hot-boiled peanuts. And then the girls were tuckered-out, so we headed home for some rest.

After getting the girls a little supper and letting them get all of their energy out at Chick-Fil-A, we took them home and got them into bed. I headed off to Carabba’s to pick-up food for our “candlelight” dinner. Queen Kelley and I enjoyed an awesome dinner and watched a surprisingly decent movie. (If you’re interested, Kelley had the Mezzaluna with an Italian Salad and I had the Rigatoni Martino with a cup of Sausage and Lentil soup.)

When the day drew to a close and I was resting my head on the pillow, I thought to myself. “Mrs. Sheri seems to be on to something with her Saturdays.”
