april fools

This morning, we woke to Lucy waiting patiently for us to get out of bed, feed her and take her for a walk.  She was waiting expectantly, eyes focused on us, cool as a cucumber.  It was adorable.

She’s been a good sport the past few weekends when we have spent most of each day re-organizing our entire apartment.  We usually like to make changes in the spring, but this year, we have successfully replaced nearly every piece of furniture we own.  We went a little nuts.

You can imagine that for Lucy, this has been a lot of upheaval.  All she really wants is to run through the woods, curl up in her bed, and have her people close at hand.

Today, after enjoying a Friday night birthday dinner for my dad (lobster, asparagus and baked potatoes prepared expertly by my Mama Bear and Zia), a Saturday filled with Ikea purchases, and furniture rearranging, it was only to be expected that Lucy would anticipate a long walk.  Unfortunately, we spent most of the afternoon finishing our massive project, racing to be done and curled up for the premiere of “Game of Thrones.”

Today is also my daddy’s birthday, so I usually forget that April 1st is April Fool’s Day.  (For Lucy, it must have felt particularly cruel when we took her to the park and did half the walk).  I can’t believe it’s April already ~ time just keeps slipping by.  Next weekend is Easter, and the man and I are hosting both sets parents – the first time in the nearly four years we have been together that our parents are spending time together.  My fingers are crossed that it all goes smoothly ~ seven people, three dogs, one small kitchen and lots of chefs!
