Saturday morning I woke on a mission (at the usual 6am). For the last few weeks The Barn Yard has been working on big project in Hampden, MA so I decided to fetch Wade and go check it out. After getting lost (MY fault)-more than once, we finally found it. Hampden Country Club- right where I thought it was...but, seeing that beauty was sooo worth the 1/2 hour detour. And for the record, big is an understatement that thing is massive- and pretty. From there we met up with my brother and SIL Aly and went to my G&G Skinner’s house- they are moving so we helped them pack. We cleaned out their attic and found a few treasures- one of which happened to be a scrapbook. My mom had made it for them as a gift for their 50th Wedding Anniversary (about 12 years ago). All of us kids made a page and attached little notes but there was one note in particular that stood out- It was Warren’s. I read it out loud, for both grandma and Aly to hear- we laughed first and then cried. I am so thankful for little reminders that pop up when you least expect... Later that day after we got home, Aly and I decided to take Gunner for a walk. The boys however had other plans- that involved shooting their bow and arrows in the backyard (go figure)- I'm pretty sure Wade taught Chris a thing or two;). And then finally to end our perfect day, after dinner we all decided to go bowling- talk about a cherry on top. It was a busy Saturday, a fun Saturday, the best Saturday I’ve had in a while...it was good- oh so good.
