My sister Robyn came up for a visit this weekend. Saturday we attempted to eat out a decent restaurant (failed) and stayed up drinking some wine and talking. Sunday, started a whole different ball game. Horses were caught and chocalate gravy on the table by eight, followed by a catching and releasing of the ducks-they were caught in the chicken pen and released into the pond with the other ducks. Casey and Lauren took the horses out while Robyn and I checked river conditions and visited a very old cemetary. Then it was bathing suits on under clothes and we headed to Low Gap Cafe. There, the food did not disappoint-there was steak, frog legs, rhubarb pie and lots of other goodies. Then we headed to the Buffalo River to get some swimming done. It was great catching some rays and watching Lauren and Casey play like little mermaids.
On the way home, Robyn's got the top on the convertible down. We've all got our swim suits on. The sun is shining and the mountains are gorgeous. We're all singing at the top of our voices and dancing as much as you possibly can in a seat belt. There were smiles and giggles all the way around. I heard a familiar laugh. It sounded so much like Mom I turned in my seat to look, but I didn't see her. It could have been any one of us-sometimes we all sound like her, but I like to think it really was her and that she was laughing at her girls. It felt really good to laugh and sing and dance and be in the sunshine with people that you really love.
