Today was a good day to be out of the house. Temperatures in San Jose rose to around 98 degrees fahrenheit and maybe a 100 degrees fahrenheit in Pleasanton where Junby, Therese and I spent the whole afternoon.
The Galvez family were gracious enough to babysit for us while Junby and I had our date. We opted to try something other than our usual movie or eating at a restaurant date. We had a picnic at one of the parks in Pleasanton. We spread a blanket under a tree, had some sandwiches I had prepared and generally just relaxed and chatted. What was great about it was that we had the park to ourselves, there was enough breeze to make it pleasant despite the heat, and I realized anew that I liked my husband's company. That might seem like a strange thing to say, given that we are married to each other but I have seen enough marriages here where the spouses seem to hold the other in contempt to appreciate what Junby and I have.
After about 2 hours of just hanging out, we decided to check out a Catholic bookstore, Glad Tidings. As expected we left that store laden with several books to add to our collection. I now have several new books lined up to be read. We next went to Trader Joe's to get maple syrup and other organic goodies. Before heading back to pick up Therese we indulged in some frozen yogurt at Blush in Dublin. We only found the place by texting google for the address. Isn't that cool? All in all it was a great day. Thank you Lord.
