Stranded in Kroger/ "Friendly" Family Competitions

Dearest you,

Friday I went horseback riding with a really great friend. Afterwards we chatted about life. I guess you don't really call it chatting when it's pretty deep...
I work up yesterday to my little brother who's not so little considerately whispering, "Sophie, do you want breakfast in bed?" He had made chocolate chip pancakes :)

Gen and I got stranded in Kroger for half an hour when we went to return a movie at Redbox last night. It was just drizzling as we pulled out of the drive, but by the time we got to the store (just down the street) it was raining cats and dogs. We ran out of the car and into Kroger, but in those few yards, we got soaked. And grocery stores are liberally air conditioned. :P So we walked around Kroger, shivering, as the employees and other customers wondered at our rather bedraggled appearances. Like they didn't know it was pouring outside...

After dinner last evening our dining room hosted a competition, including multiplication/division drills, and a state's capital quiz, all in remembrance of my father's 5th grade elementary school days. Our family possesses lots of competitive genes. Even my mother was not shy challenging my nine-year-old sister :D

We visited a church this morning with some friends. I promptly fell asleep when we returned home. I think I dozed for a couple hours. Allergies really drain one's energy supply :) While napping, I dreamed about...well, about a lot of things. Including being stopped on a trail (during a family walk) by some creepers. It'll suffice to say I was glad to awake :)

Praise God for the rain!
Con amore,
Sophie
