Today: Mostly sweet with a touch of bitter. We started with breakfast at the Little One Cafe in downtown Tucson, which has been our favorite ever since Scott and Kate Friesen-Kempf turned us on to it some years ago. Once again, it was fabulous, but not without three year old drama caused by a Pop Pop error. Falc stubbed his toe yesterday running in the desert. I made the mistake of asking him how his toe felt today. He proceeded to take his shoe and sock off to show me. Of course, his very diligent mother considers public nakedness bad behavior (Just a foot) and scolded him. Falc responded with an indignant wail or three. I felt abashed. The squall ended quickly, and soon we were off to the zoo. Tucson's zoo, while small, is built for kids and appears to be well managed. All of the animals seemed healthy and active, albeit caged. Falc loved it. We drove home afterward and the bitter taste of them leaving ran down our gullets like a dose of epicac. But soon they were packed, hugs were issued, and tears were wiped away. It was a good week, a full week, a week filled with joy (Except for an occasional wail). Like I always tell the Falc when he leaves, "I'll see you next time, Buddy." They'll be home before you know it, and so will we. In the meantime, life is good, especially today.
Falc and TC checking out the Mir Kats.
She's got no time for them either.
Mimi giving Falc a good viewpoint.
