random (almost) Monday
• Sunday, I traveled with some friends to the San Juans to soak in the clothing-optional hot springs. We all remained in our suits, but I saw more naked old men than I ever cared to. Afterwards, we sat outside on the picnic benches, reveling in the gorgeous light of dusk while we ate antipasto salad and snacked on veggies and hummus. I should have taken a picture, but I don’t think it would have captured how beautiful the snow-covered San Juans were.
• Eden’s on spring break, so I had both kids with me yesterday while I grocery shopped and ran errands for Tangle. I had to ship a package to Norway and left them in the car while I ran into the post office. When I came out, there were a couple people leaning up against the building, eyeing my car. When I got in, Eden reported that Honor had climbed out of his carseat and honked the horn a couple dozen times. What she failed to mention is that he can’t get unbuckled without her help. They both spent the afternoon in trouble.
• We just got the Spring issue of Rebecca in the store and I really, really, REALLY have to knit this cowl neck sweater. Immediately. Good thing we ordered the yarn too!

Wow, you’re brave for leaving the kids in the car, but I understand- I HATE going to the PO with the kids, and Blockbuster…

That is hilarious!! Boy, the stuff they can pull in a few minutes. My 2.5 year old has now started screaming in short bursts when he sees old men at the store. That has been fun!!

Ugh, I’m glad mine is small enough to stay out of trouble if I have to leave her in the car a few minutes.
I made the laundry soap, and like it a lot!

Hi, this reminds me of what your Dad did when he was about 3. We lived in the Gas Hills of Wyo. and the grocery store was on a hill. I parked the carne and ran in for a minute, and your Dad manged to take the car out of gear.(We did not have car seats). It started rolling down hill and Ann thought to step on the brake! Joyce ran in the store and got me. I nearly had a heart attack!! Do you suppose this action is passed down?

Dolly, yes, absolutely it is passed down, that is why I never had the courage (as Sarah Grace calls it) to leave my kids alone in the car (also because of big cities) until they had their driver’s license!!!! :)
My own mother left us when we were of responsible age, say 5 years — but always after teaching me, the oldest, how to push on the brake.
