low key

my youngest daughter and i were alone all day…since 7:00a…will be that way until tomorrow.  a weekend for me can be an interesting challenge of balancing my inner self’s need to “get things done” and the more important growing with my wife and daughter.  being a loner most of my life i have done well in keeping myself busy…by myself.  so today was an excellent opportunity.  my youngest daughter and i mowed the lawn (she was in the back-pack carrier)…it was very cool…sometimes she would pat my back or my head, i think to remind me she was there.  we played in the yard…picking rock clover and wrestling.  we ate…omelet…salmon…grilled turkey sandwich (beach food)…even a few chips…fruit…water.  we rode the bike (she got tired of peddling me around…i am kidding).  we watered the plants and grass.  i noticed i didn’t talk a whole lot…I don’t do that unless i am in a group and nervous.  my youngest daughter cried once the whole day.  i had a wonderful day.  i accomplished more today than i did at work all week…i bonded…or so i presume
