Thankful: Day three

There was tremendous grousing and complaining about being too tired (hungry/thirsty/oppressed) to take a 2 mile walk with their dear old Mom, but walk we did, along the Willamette, on a nearly 70 degree November day.

There was lagging, and fake falls and enough drama for this mama, but I didn't mind.

Leaves were falling and college students were riding their bikes; babies (unable to voice their displeasure) rode along merrily in strollers while I walked my rambunctious Springer, the one that wants to eat all the geese.

(Hurry. Fly far, far away not-so-little birdies.)

And by the time I snapped this picture on my phone, everyone was in a better mood. Against their will.

Oh, man, have I been there. Who knew we were torturing our children by forcing them to enjoy some sunshine? Shame on us.
It was an amazing day, although I was accused of child abuse. Go figure.

The dogs loved me.

I love when that happens -- when I drag them out and it seems like the most impossible thing to do and then they end up having a good time.
