John called home on his way home from work with a "crazy idea". He had read in the news that the local strawberry farm had a beautiful crop of strawberries and suggested we go pick some - that night. Our normally scheduled activity for that evening was cancelled, so it worked out perfectly. We left dinner on the stove and off we went. We found the news report to be absolutely true. The strawberries were large, ripe, and plentiful. We picked 3 gallons. And had fun doing it.
Then on the way home we went by the Clemson University horse farm. The kids hopped out of the car and petted the foals.
Finally, we drove past the lake to see the sunset.
Sometimes it drives me crazy that we don't live a more structured life. But on nights like this, I realize our carefree personalities fit well together, we love to be spontaneous with each other, and we find great joy.
