I drove up here yesterday with my 10 year old daughter, Naomi, to see Rachael this week. She missed her mama. :-) Woke up this morning to a beautiful sunny day. Took Rachael to her bridal consultant training early this morning. It's another one of those "God things". Another girl at her work had been tapped to go but an unforseen family circumstance caused her to have to go back home to California and that left the spot open for Rachael. It always makes me wonder what God's doing in the life of the "other person".
So, today found Naomi and I with a few hours on our own to spend as we chose. First stop, Starbucks for my iced tea addiction and newspaper reading. Naomi likes to do Sudoko. I don't understand that! We then went to a wonderful vintage clothing and general paraphenalia shop that looked like someone's garage castoffs, where Naomi found some old Betty and Veronica comic books and I found a 1940's looking top. We picked up Rachael after her work and went to a bookstore to rummage through the clearance books and find ones we couldn't do without. Found Julia Child cooking instruction dvd's and I bought them for Rachael to keep her company on the nights she's feeling lonely. We came back to her apartment and watched a movie and colored my hair. Then to the grocery store to stock her tiny little kitchen and finally to drop her off at her school for evening classes to spare her the bus/train ride there.
This day was filled with nothing at all out of the ordinary. Except that, at the end of the day, Rachael hugged me and told me how glad she was that I had come.
