Great day with DD!




Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2007 11:48 pm

Well this will be boring for anyone reading it but I don't want to forget what a great day I've had! I drove into town a little way, as far as my wonky eyesight would allow. Then DD and I walkeda through the rain with our big ol' umbrella, and arrived at a bus stop just ahead of the bus. This is the first time she and I have taken a bus trip together, kinda an experiment. Anyway, we rode it all around town and ended up at the downtown terminal. A very nice lady there helped me get the paperwork I needed to get DD a disabled-person's bus pass, then we walked (the rain had turned to mist now) the 5 or so blocks to the farmers market, which just reopened for the season. We got some homemade blueberry jam, a big loaf of whole-wheat sourdough from a local bakery, and some chicken/spinach sausages from the local butcher. Had bagels for lunch, and just moseyed around the farmers market together. We ran into the lady who was her developmental-preschool teacher 10 years ago, she was so happy to see Becky finally walking! (she still couldn't when she graduated preschool at 4). We picked up some big crunchy apples & walked back to the bus terminal (rain had completely stopped by now). Rode back to the car & stopped at the grocery store on the way home. When we got back and checked the mail, the Stuart Little video I'd ordered for her had arrived. Whoo, I'm ready for a nap, but what a good day! AND, the goat even stayed in!

I think it was very interesting. I did not know you have a disabled daughter. How old is she? Sounds like a great day to me. Wish I could have joined in.

She's 14, can only speak a handful of words, laughs uproariously at slapstick, moves very slowly and cautiously. Has taught me to slow down and look around at life!

It sounds like the ideal mum and daughter day out to me. It's nice to just 'chill' together once in a while and I'm sure your daughter enjoyed the day as much as you did. I hope you both have many more bus trips together now that you've sorted out her bus pass.
