Bobby, Bob, Bikes, Books, Dr’s, and Blessings

I knew I had to make a Dr.’s appt today for myself since I have been having a few problems in some “not-for-discussion-on-a-blog.” problem. It’s for the afternoon, so the morning was ours. Tatum and I needed to make the best of it our early day.

Boy, has this been one of the BEST DAYS EVER with her.

The usual start of the day: Jesus, the gym, and coffee. Then, we were off to see  Bobby and Bob at Bobby’s church in Fountain Hills, North Chapel. I packed a few toys for Tatum to play with so we could just chat. It was great to see him. Friends really do come and go as you progress through life, but Bobby will be a FOREVER friend. Same with Bob. Just solid men. Thank you, Jesus for their presence in my life. Continue to bless their ministries! (especially in the summer when Fountain Hills goes from 23,000 to 11,000: a real ghost town).

I put Tatum’s bike in the back of my CRV so we could find a Lime Bike for me. (These are bikes you rent with your phone and you pay by the mile). On the way to the park, we hit the library. Every summer, they have a reading challenge, so since it starts Friday, we stopped in for one or two books.

Then, it was time to head to Chaparral Park since they have a lake. I’m sure there’d be a LimeBike there.

It was time to sunglass Tot. She needed to look cool of course.

Welllllllllll, we found one, but it was a block from the park. So, I loaded it in the back of my CRV but it wouldn’t fit!! I only had to drive through the parking lot to the next one, so I just let it hang out of my car as we headed to the lake. IT WAS PRETTY FUNNY. Tatum kind of held on to it since I (don’t tell)  didn’t have her locked in and we only had to drive 200 feet or so.

Now we are all ready! I scanned the code and VOILA!

Tatum took my pic:

Off we go (after much sunscreen).

We headed to the lake. Now, Tatum couldn’t take my pic so this is proof I was on the bike:

 

Then it was time for duck stop. This duck met us with excitement. Whatcha got for us????

Hmmmmmm….

Zilch, buddy.

Sorry friends. We have to head back. So, we hopped on and headed for the car. (We did one loop around the lake)

We came home, washed our feet, cooled off, and made lunch.

First, Tatum and Coti prayed. (He prayed for her to drop her lunch).

What focus!

Then she ate.

Sorry, puppy.

We came upstairs to work on a letter, draw, read, and then time to head to the Dr. She was so much fun today. Like a real adult relationship! Very cool.

I couldn’t have asked for a better morning with my lovebug.
Now, I must pray for some healing!

We headed to the Dr. in the afternoon, and guess what you do at the Dr?? You wait.

and wait

 

And put Baby on your head.

 

and oh, here she comes.

OK, so the day was the bomb. Met with my gal pals in the evening for our REACH book group. They all are SOOOO happy for Tot and me. We can’t wait to marry Dougeee.
