A Stolen Sping Day 4/1/2006

Bob and I managed to sneak a day just for us.  We layed in bed until 11ish... well, to be fair, I snuck out to Walgreens for a pregnancy test (not pregnant), quilted for an hour, and then rejoined my love for some much needed snuggle-bonding.  We decided to take a drive to the Lighthouse Mall in Michigan City.  The day is a sunny-upper 40s-sweatshirt-chilly-but-still-smells-like-spring day.  Birds were especially silly this morning.  It made me laugh to listen to them.  They, along with this weather, always reminds me of Saugatuck and fourteen.  We ate lunch at Chili's and I smiled at Bob the way I used to, and he said, "There's my Gigi's smile!" I must smile at him the way he deserves more often.  He should never be surprised to see it.

Note: This weekend I was laughing outloud at the nutjob birds and the earnestness in their songs.  I thought it was the first time I ever noticed how excited they were, like the rest of us, about the break in the weather.  It was interesting to read this old entry and find that I have been listening and noticing for a while.
