Andy has recently picked up a new hobby - frisbee (or disc) golf.
He has been endlessly researching the best discs, going to countless sporting goods stores to look at what they have, and ordering his products online. He has read articles and watched YouTube videos about how to become a better player. And he has practiced, even inside the house, chipping some wall paint in the process. I don't mind. I'm just so happy he's found his own hobby to enjoy.
It was a beautiful spring day! The bright, fresh, neon green of spring was just beginning to poke itself out of the bare tree limbs, fragile flowers were popping up in all kinds of unsuspecting places, and the birds were sweetly singing to each other...and to us. The wind played delicately with my hair as we traipsed through field and forest. And Andy patiently tried to teach me how to play, cheering me on even as my frisbee would sail high into the air, drop to it's side and roll, roll, roll down the hill.
So peaceful, so picturesque, so perfect.

Days like these are few. Sometimes we can get so caught up in admiring them, that we forget to enjoy them. I hope there are many days for you to enjoy this week! Maybe you'll want to try disc golf. If so, my husband would be happy to show you the ropes. Just ask!

Sorry, ykw stands for you know who. I'm afraid I just made that one up. I looked up smh at www.internetslang.com it means shaking my head. Which is what I do when I run into all these abbreviations that I don't understand. That's how I found that website.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for Andy to have a new interest. I first saw those posts with a chain basket a few years ago at a park near my house. I didn't know what they were but I found out they were for frisbee golf. I don't know much about it but I believe they have tournaments.
Easter with the kids today. Alot of peeps around here!!. I'm off tomorrow and plan to spend some time outside weeding and planting.
Hope the both of you have a blessed weekend. I've lost track of time is your detox finished? If so allow yourself one jellybean.xoxo my friend.
What a great website! I'll have to start using it. Sometimes I get so confused reading things. ;)
DeleteYes, this frisbee golf seems to be such a big deal. Even as I type this he's sitting at his desktop computer researching more discs. It's kind of funny, but it's one of the things that I love about him. He does his research. Have you ever tried it?
Did you have a great Easter celebration? Today one of the four year olds interrupted class to tell everyone that she was going to church tonight because "Jesus is going to have his last supper and tomorrow he's going to die." It is so unexpected and precious the way kids describe things. Was your house just brimming? I tend to like having lots of people over, even though it means lots of cleaning and preparation. I hope my house is welcoming. I'm sure yours is.
The detox is done, (well tomorrow morning.) It was worth it, Julia. I'm so glad I did it. And so thankful I finished.
Enjoy your time outside tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a beautiful day for it. And you have a peace filled weekend as well.
xoxo
