Day Two Hundred Forty-Seven: Several Small Firsts

There really wasn't one big First today. But, there were several small ones. First of all, Ruth and I left the house at about 6:45 to go to Aubrey for an Equestrian Special Olympics horse show, which some of the CAP cadets were helping out with. I actually spent most of the time in the car because it was COLD. From there, we drove straight to Six Flags, which was where Ruth wanted to celebrate her birthday with one of her very best friends. It was my first time to just drop Ruth off at a place like that, which is a testament to the fact that she is almost 16. I then had lunch with one of my very good friends, who happens to the the mom of Ruth's friend. We haven't gotten to have one-on-one time like that in quite a long time, so it was a very nice treat. Finally, I took myself to Urban Alchemy, a new-to-me local coffee shop, where I spent the afternoon writing while waiting to pick up the girls.
