Still incredible that we can get from Connecticut to Louisiana so quickly. Have already checked out my favorite spots for sitting, contemplating, conversation and reading. All is right in this southern world. Started out this day at the Waffle House with a pecan waffle, bien sûr, crisp, delightful bacon and coffee. It seemed like a home coming of sorts. We were in Zachary when the Waffle House first opened in 2008, I think. The manager had a broken arm and she still did a fantastic job of getting the store off and running. This morning she was there with her arm in a sling! Déjà vu. Even the cook is the same one who opened the store. That's pretty cool in this age of transients and lazy bones. Went to LeBlanc's for my Baton Rouge Advocate and odds and ends. Puppy's Pop is with his friend Gil and Puppy and I are enjoying a sunny, warm day at home while the rest of the family is at work.
This past Saturday we had to get Kiddo home early because he took part in the fundraising marathon for Sacred Heart. He wasn't too sure if he really wanted to compete but finally set his mind to it and remembered to look straight ahead, no turning around while running to see who might be close behind. He came in third in the marathon (a run around the entire school property) and first in the 50 M dash. How exhilarating for him. His Mom said she was more anxious than he! Really stupendous effort for our Kiddo who gets pretty worked up before any type of competition. I think he's beginning to realize that the only thing of real importance it to compete against himself. Always trying to improve and having no concern about what others do.
Time to get the Wii Fitness Coach to work.
