The days don't get much better than this weekend! It's treating myself to a cold Starbucks drink, opening the sunroof on my dad's car and listening to my new summery music loudly as I drive through town, the wind swirling about me. You couldn't wipe the smile off of my face!
Today was a treat, just how summer, and the 4th of July should be. I met Amber in town for what promised to be an adventure of epic proportions, no matter what we actually decided to do! Amber can make microwaving a burrito into an epic adventure! So, just before we set off on a somewhat lengthy bike trip around Point, with various stops along the way, we decide to give Olson one last chance to hang out with the most delightful women around. He picks up his phone finally! Belt's. Now, you all know that I am a pretty religious ice cream eater... and most of you probably know that I don't consider soft serve actual ice cream... but I go to Belt's on special occasions, when those I am with are not so enlightened. Today was one of those days.
The three of us caught up quickly and easily, as we always do. Are you ever with people who you've known forever and even though you feel like you've changed somewhat, they still know exactly what you'll think or say about something? Those are these friends.... special and deep friends. Friends I thank God daily for.
We headed for the river in hopes of finding some great trees for slacklining (Wiki it if you wanna know more.) and fields for frisbee. The perfect temperature. The perfect amount of breeze. The perfect absence in the ability to text (Thanks Element Mobile!). The perfect company. Oh, this was a glorious day! We talked and laughed and I did a pretty good digger as the line flung me off of it. Hilarious. We missed our NYC contingent for sure! We left some holes in our pictures for you two!
Jeremy left to begin his actual epic adventure of a year of clinicals in this 3rd year of med school. Fun! Amber and I biked over and dropped in on Ann and Lee, who just happened to be sitting down to dinner, which they had cooked extra of, which was providential.... score for Amber and me! :) Their porch is perfect for evening sun, laughter, good food and more special friends. Could you ask for anything more?
Arriving back at the Perri-base after biking through Point as it said goodbye to the mid-summer holiday weekend, we found ourselves being offered more food and fellowship-y fun. You just can't beat the cook outs and parties of summer, can you?
It was the perfect day. And I am perfectly exhausted after this weekend.
Next post will include all of the highlights of SFOOG 2011: We're Back and Better than Ever! (Our 3rd annual Sherf Family Outdoor Olympic Games.) Pictures too!
