I planned to go to our UU church on Sunday but Jeremy’s quiet words stopped me. Zie’d asked me for the second time if I was going to church and I told zir (again) that yes I was. Jeremy said ‘okay’ then I heard zir mutter as zie walked away, “I was hoping…”
I have no idea what zie was hoping but I put down the phone instead of calling for a ride and looked at the weather forecast instead. It had been -28C on Friday night but Sunday was mild with a high of 3C. The temperature was set to drop again on Monday.
“Why don’t we go for a walk instead,” I suggested. “We could take the bus downtown then walk along the trail to the lake.”
Jeremy bounced back into the room. “Okay,” zie said eagerly. “Just let me get my camera.”
I bought myself a camera after Christmas as a present to myself, which means Jeremy has my old camera; a bright red Olympus zie’s covered in rhinestone stickers. It looks fabulous.
I don’t think Jeremy’s uploaded any photos yet but I have some to share. Enjoy 🙂
It was a great walk.
And now I’m back to working on my speech. Our UU church is having a talk regarding transgender issues on the 1st and I’m one of four speakers; my speech is on raising a trans kid. I was supposed to have it written by last month but it will be done before the 1st. Deadlines are supposed to be rough estimates, right?
❤ You got this–also a number of blog posts from here could serve well in a pinch!
Thanks 🙂
Those pictures are great! And I was going to ask about another picture I had seen- if you were swinging because it was feet. lol That answers my question. I use my iPhone as a camera and although the pics aren’t the greatest, I do have fun looking for interesting things to snap. I’m glad you are enjoying your Christmas gift!
Yes,that would be me on the swing 🙂 I often end up using my Samsung but it’s nice to have something special.
I’m sure it is. There are times when I think I need to be looking for a real camera. 🙂
Jeremy’s hair looks lovely on the pics 🙂 Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that are needed, like a walk with your Mum
Nice story. But don’t miss Church services. Hebrews 10:25
I’m an atheist so am not particularly worried about missing services 🙂
