There was a thin gold chain and vision that worked well up close, but not far away. There was one foot, then two and of course shoulders and an elbow that needed tending. There was a mark left, or was it two? There was a lack of patience in general as gifts were exchanged - they both really liked what the other gave them and said so in simple words and sweeping gestures.
The day melded with Cub scouts and a cheerleader who gives a great hug, a little playhouse on the church grounds, some bar-b-q with slaw and a story about the long walk to school and a first love.
There was a spot up high where the stars were playing hide and seek with those who bore witness to the game. For a moment high school was back in the forefront and the songs that played were like old friends stopping by to say hello.
Dark chocolate and coconut, being honest and just spending time - it was a perfect Saturday. The real kind....and did I mention those gifts...thank you...
