A Very Happy Duck

Friday Night on the Town

As it happens, we hit up Jewel on Friday afternoon ;) for some cocktails.  We were all feeling quite happy to be seated at Chitt Bhardwa's table at the front of the club!  This meant an open window and plenty of sunshine for our copious amount of champagne cocktails and mohitos.  Not a bad way to spend a Friday evening.  Though I headed home quite early, admittedly, I really tried my best to split my time as effectively as possible.  

Thanks for a great night out, you fabulous trio of young ladies, you.   xxx

Making love was never about you and me in a bed.

We made love whenever we held hands.

It was Sports Day today and I wore my best tank top for the sunshine.

Too bad the sunshine was more sun and less England than I anticipated.  Burned and a little heat exhausted (because that's a thing, right?), I'm headed to bed nice and early tonight.

I taught a life lesson to a student today who dislikes a certain prone-to-yelling teacher.  When some Strangers appeared at the fence today, The Yeller simply had to walk up to them and say, "Get outta here" in a very calm voice, and the kids vanished.

"Did you see how she handled that?  She dominated without yelling at all."

 "Yeah, Miss.  You couldn't have done that."

"Exactly.  See?  We all have our talents.  We all have our roles.  We are all important in some way."

"Yes," he said very somberly.  "Yes, you are right about that."

I love a productive day.

Box Hill

After some pizza on Friday night so neither of us had to cook, Steven and I embarked on a 13 km running/hiking journey through the woods at Box Hill.  What an adventure!  Here are some somewhat unattractive pics, but hey, the scenery is pretty nice ;)

Needless to say, my legs are burning a little bit today, so we laid low this Father's Day Sunday.  I hope you all had a great weekend. 

The family is celebrating in Niagara Falls at my Uncle's house. 


 

Happy Father's Day, Dad.  You're a sweet, sweet man, with the patience of a saint.  I miss you xxx

Sometimes it's nice not to have to say certain things.  They're understood, implied, well known.  I hope you're having a swell day.  xx

What a Man

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
