My daughter Heather and I were supposed to meet for a late lunch and then hang out for a while yesterday. She called and told me to be ready to go out about 2:00pm. Well, to my total surprise, when she drove up, I saw that my other daughter Ellen was in the car with her.
I had no idea that Ellen was coming into New York this weekend. It turns out that a close friend of hers from college was having a batchelorette party here in NYC last night that Ellen was going to attend. My daughters conspired to totally surprise me. Well, it worked. I was thrilled to see Ellen. The only times I'd seen her since last Decenber were when we were on the webcam.
The temperature went into the 80's here yesterday. After we ate lunch, we took advantage of the weather and drove to a place nearby where people go to walk and bicycle. We walked and talked for quite a while. I was really happy having both my daughters with me. I coudn't wipe the smile off of my face the whole time. I also couldn't shut up. I was mostly telling them about my friends on SG and how amazing they are.
The three of us are meeting up this afternoon. We don't have any specific plans yet. I couldn't care less what we wind up doing. I'm just so happy to be with my family. Ellen's visit has really energized me.
It's a beautiful day today in more ways than one. I hope all of my wonderful friends here have a great day.

I sent your PM to my Kindle. I'm looking forward to finding a nice quiet, sunny place a bit later today and having an enjoyable read! There's actually a bench out if sight in the foreground of the second photo - that may be the spot!
I know that Saturdays are not easy for you. I hope that you find something to do today that will bring you pleasure. Be well... and happy.
I bought, read and enjoyed nearly every "banned" book that I could find back in my teen years. They obviously helped to mold what I've become and what I've come to enjoy, both in reading and in life. I'm a fan of nearly everything, with the notable exceptions of scatology and snuff.
People should be free to read and enjoy whatever they wish, as long as their pursuits do not infringe upon the rights and pleasures of others.
