The question is, what am I doing in the house right now? Margie and Kalib are in the backyard and I hear happy sounds coming from back there, as well as the sound of a stick occasionally bumping a turned-over canoe, and of water splashing.
Yesterday afternoon, I drove into Anchorage to pick Margie up at Jacob and Lavina's, where she had been baby-sitting all week, not to bring her home, but to take her on a date - out to a movie, to dinner - and then drop her back off until late late tonight, just before Jacob, Lavina, Kalib and Jobe catch their flight to Albuquerque.
But, things worked out differently than I had anticipated and I wound up bringing my date home with me - along with two little boys.
Having a desperate need to do so, l slept in very late today and it was good.
Now I have a very lazy Saturday feeling. Margie and Kalib are in the backyard.
I have a bunch of pictures sitting in front of me, waiting to be edited, processed, placed in this post and written about.
But I am not going to do it. Not now.
Instead, I will just post the first picture that I took after I left to pick up Margie and take her out on a date:
Pioneer Peak, looming above.
Maybe I will post some of the others later.
Maybe I won't.
We will see. For now, I am just going to go out into the backyard and see what kind of commotion Kalib and Margie are getting into.
Jobe is napping in his cradleboard. Caleb is in the house to listen, should Jobe wake up.
