I spent the Labor Day weekend in the Sacramento area with my dad. It was restful and I was especially happy that I took my running shoes. It felt wonderful to get out every morning in the cool air and enjoy a run without having to be anywhere at any particular time. I ran in Dad's neighborhood. He lives near a golf course and it's very quiet and peaceful. There weren't any stray dogs, hardly any traffic.
Saturday morning was the best. I love spending time with Dad, but he was playing golf with friends and I had the place to myself. I finished my run and spent an hour on his patio doing nothing but enjoying the morning with my coffee and the latest fashion magazine. That's like a slice of heaven to me. I had time to shower when I wanted. I then watched a movie...in his recliner. I napped. What a great morning, what a great day. Later that afternoon his friends and their wives showed up and we enjoyed a shrimp boil.
Sunday morning found me enjoying the crisp air again, then we met up with friends for brunch and headed to the state fair to watch the horse races. I wrapped it up this morning with yet another run.
I'm home now and I feel like I was hit with reality all too soon, almost from the moment I stepped off the plane. I'm glad I have several vacations planned the next few months. I intend to make the best of them.
