My Instead: Annette and I took our first walk in the falling snow
on her country road.
Annette’s visitors slowly came downstairs after our night of “partying
like rock stars”. Their ride on the tipsy train was over…now they had to pay the
piper. We all ate a little something and then they loaded up their cars to head
back home, leaving Annette and me alone once again on the home front.
Annette cleaned up around the house and I did some writing. The
snow flurry outside was turning whiter which gave me a great idea. She had to
guess what it was. When I said “Let’s get bundled up,” she gave me a “raised
eyebrow” look. She knew then that HER idea wasn’t going to happen. Instead, we
were going to take our first walk on her road with an added bonus…it was
snowing!
Looking like Paul Bunyan's sisters, we walked up to Highway 32 and then back to Annette's house. Of course,
if we were going to continue, I would have to make a pit stop. When we
stepped outside again, we headed in the other direction which was an even longer
trek. We bantered back and forth about our present and our future, breathing in the crisp cold air. It felt good to get out
among nature after a weekend of friends and frolic.
When we got back to the house, we warmed ourselves up with some
hot chocolate, feeling good that our relationship was warmer too.
