Girls Lunch and Slashing Grass

Girl's lunchCrystal and I went to lunch at this beautiful hotel called Lakeview. We sat by the pool and ordered our lunch, chatted casually and then got into some wonderful talks. Tears were shed, we laughed as well and enjoyed the warmth of the sun shielded by the clouds. It started to sprinkle just a bit so we moved to the bar/gazebo to eat. We sat down and the counter was much higher than normal…almost to our chins. My mind flashed back to Pippen in Lord of the Rings shouting, “They come in PINTS?!” and then sitting at the bar that was WAY too big for his hobbit size. Our food came and we realized this would not work so we moved to a bit more leveled out area of the bar. It was so fun to be with my sister, share our thoughts, enjoy each other and spend some quality time together.

Asher slashing grassWe got home and Asher was in the buck (as he usually was since he was potty training) and out helping Dennis slash the grass. That’s what they do in Uganda, take a scythe and slash or cut the grass. Asher took a long branch bent over started slashing the grass in perfect slashing form. Any Ugandan would be proud. I laughed so much…then he started running around, slashing and yelling, “I’m running! I’m running!” Ah to be two and do things that make others laugh and you can enjoy the innocence of it. He cracks me up!
