16 December 2006
What a beautiful day! We were up early—in fact Kyle worked for a few hours this morning until we went out to see a movie. Incidentally, the new Charlotte’s Web is just as good at making you cry as the old animated one was! I think I saw the entire second half of the film through a fog of tears. Such a fabulous story. And just as touching today as it was when E.B. White wrote it in 1952. And when I first read it in the late sixties.
After the movie, the sun was warm and the air was crisp, and Kyle was willing to humour me when I suggested we take the dogs out for some playtime. We walked a few blocks away, to the local elementary school, and tossed the non-frisbee brand flying disc <grin> more than a few times. These two beautiful, crazy dogs of ours would kill themselves chasing a frisbee if you let them! They run and run and run. I guess it’s their “job.” We had fun, took some photos, and walked back home.
Pretty much a perfect Saturday.
