A Fun Day

 Today was a day for the books . . . and for my blog, and for Facebook.  The youngest member of the M house got his first haircut.  Unexpectedly, he was happy and content throughout the entire process; so we considered that a good sign that it was going to be a good day, so we set out to make the most of it.  We knew just what to do; we went to the beach.  We had a great Italian lunch on the patio.  The weather couldn't have been better, the wait staff was all very friendly, and a beautiful group of five gazelles pranced proudly out of the surrounding hillside.  (OK, there were no gazelles . . . it was a group of deer.)  After lunch, we all made our way leisurely down the street for a fancy cup of fancy coffee, as we pretended to be fancy people.  We sat and relaxed like Europeans.  It was splendid.  We eventually had to head home, where we continued the relaxing with some playing and reading and watching TV.  It was a very good day, a day to write home about.
