pegkerrThe girls and I got up at 6:00 a.m. and drove around delivering may baskets to about a half dozen people. Including a couple of you, who haven't even realized it yet. (*Snickers* yeah, we drove by later in the morning, after karate, to check) After delivering the baskets, we went out for pancakes and French toast at Sweet Lorraine's. I love going out for breakfast on the weekends.
I told the girls again about the legend that if you wash your face with dew on May Day morning before the sun touches it, it will make you beautiful all year long. We looked for dew, but the grass was dry. Oh well, doesn't matter. They're beautiful already.
Acting on a tip that a neighbor gave me, I found a place to donate that stroller, finally. It's been given to Sabathani Community Center, which puts donated items outside the back of the building free for people to take, but I get a tax write off receipt. We also donated the girls' little child table that has been in the kitchen for years, but which they've really outgrown. It feels both good and sad to let go of those two really important pieces of their young childhood. The woman accepting donations assured us that both items will go very quickly, and it does help, to think that these things that we used so much will go to families who maybe can't afford to buy nice ones for themselves.
We'll be going to brunch at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
harryleblanc's and then the Heart of the Beast May Day Parade tomorrow and hope to see some of you there. elisem, minnehaha and dreamshark, we'll look for you. It will be our last annual May Day brunch at Harry's which is a little sad, since he's moving to San Francisco to go to graduate school.
