I spent the day in Little Rock with my mom and Rufus today. There wasn't really a reason to go, but there wasn't a reason not to go, so we packed up food and water for Rufus and got in the car. I suppose, in a way, the trip was productive. We picked up an ebelskiver pan, and I picked out P's anniversary gift. But most of the fun was walking along the riverfront in the sunshine. It reminded me of home a little bit, just being by the water with no purpose except to be there. It felt good.
After the riverfront, we headed home so that I could have a phone date with P. Best part of my day. But those have to end sometime, which is what that ebelskiver pan was for. Homemade apple ebelskivers. I burned the first four, but after that, I got the hang of it. They're amAzing. I can't even explain it.
So that was my day: shopping, riverfront, date, laughter, smiles, pastries.
Today, I am grateful for:
* having a mom that I can do things with.
* candlelit baths with a glass of Riesling
* phone dates. They make the distance easier.
* the way he makes me feel.
* pastries and the new pan that lets me make them.
*** For the record, I almost forget the R both times I typed the word "pastries." For my own sake, I need to clarify: I am not thankful for pasties. Those are different. And not even nearly as cool as pastries.
