So today I went on a beautiful walk with my Aunt Monica…I love her! She has always been like my ‘other’ Mom growing up. I could always call her up when I needed to know something because she was a home school Teacher and I thought she was so smart!!!
We have gone on many walks and I’d say the most exciting time was when we walked past a bobcat just sitting on the edge of the sidewalk…literally centimeters from my left leg as I walked past it staring at it, as we approached it I said, "Wow that’s a nice looking statue but who puts it on the edge of their lawn like that??" As I whisped a breeze past it’s nose with my leg and stared at it I saw it’s eyes follow mine as we kept walking our normal moderate speed. WE BOTH SAW IT’S EYES MOVE!!!
That’s when we turned our heads and looked straight ahead in shock as we kept walking like nothing happened…then when we were further enough away we looked behind us, and it was GONE!!! YIKES! Then we looked at eachother in total amazement and shock as we said, "it was REAL!" "not a statue afterall!" YIKES!!! I’ll never forget that day! HAHA..
Today we enjoyed the tree lined path next to a beautiful creek, a bunny hopping across our path and baby ducks and geese frolicking next to us as we briskly walked on our way!!! It was a good walk and talk! Thanks Monica!!
