Weekend adventure

Speaking of Maddie, we took her on a little adventure with us over the weekend. Our original plan – to go on a hike at a spot my mom liked, in honor of her birthday – was thwarted when we saw a “No Dogs Allowed” sign. So we kept driving south and wound up stopping at a charming little dog-friendly restaurant in the middle of nowhere and then hitting some nearby parks.

I had been feeling sad about my mom’s birthday and her not being here to celebrate, and I was a bit disappointed things hadn’t gone as planned that day. But when the waitress told us the dessert options after our meal, I perked up: We ended the meal with a piece of cherry pie – my mom’s favorite.
