Saturdays are for fun...

Usually, the first half of Saturday is spent either cleaning or sleeping in. 

Today I did a little of both.

This afternoon, Bill took Will out in the wilderness somewhere to drive a dune buggy and shoot guns.

I know.  You are thinking; "somewhere in the wilderness?!  Shouldn't you know specifically where they were?!  What if they got lost or injured?  How would you direct search and rescue efforts?"

Again, I know.  I really ought to be more on top of that sort of thing.  Bill goes off into the mountains on his mountain bike so often and to so many different places that I have stopped keeping track of where he goes.  I should have him write his anticipated location on the white board in the kitchen before he leaves each time so I don't have to try to remember it.  The names of the various canyons all sound the same and mean nothing to me geographically.

Anyways, they came back safe and sound and Will enjoyed himself quite a bit.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Helena and I went out for lunch at Cafe Rio, where we ran into acquaintances from her ballet days.  They were a younger dancer and her mother; the latter being the chaperon in charge of Helena for the final part of her European trip last summer.  We invited them to share a table with us so we could catch up with each other's lives.  It turns out that the younger dancer had also quit the ballet scene just recently.

After lunch, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to look for a pot rack for over the stove.  The only one they had was WAY over priced, so we loitered for a little while trying out the demos of some shiatsu massage chair thingys before heading over to the movie theater...

At the theater, we walked right into a showing of Alice In Wonderland.  We only missed maybe one trailer (funny how they are still called 'trailer' even though they are now shown prior to the feature).  It was a fun show!

After the show, we zipped over to WalMart to pick up some groceries, then hurried home so Helena could finish her homework.

Now it is just about bed time and I am looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, too!
