Jared and I set out from the house this morning to pick up my sister and her two girls for a nice kiddie movie and a trip to the Botanical Gardens.
Oh how happy we were about leaving early and missing traffic and our wonderful joy filled plans.
Then, we arrived at the theater to find a prim black ink on cheap white paper note taped to the inside of the conspicuously empty theater indicating that there would be NO movie today. Not today, tomorrow, next week or anymore with the Regal Cinema backing.
Yes, sirree Bob, the theater HAS BEEN SOLD!!!
Why did no one call me?
Talk about inconvenience!
So, tails tucked firmly between our legs and our ears laid back and whimpering, we decided we were no longer in charge.
Driving on to the Botanical Gardens, we figured that we would 'deal with it'.
How thankful I am that we GOT to deal with it!! The Gardens were WAY more fun than the kiddie movie would have been and it was a perfect day to take in the beauty gathered by man into one lovely setting and nurtured by God into a miniature Eden of the South.
Plants, flowers and a profusion of bees and butterflies kept the garden lovely and humming. Dragonflies darted around the waterlilies and the pathways that wound around the ponds. The sun was shining just enough and the breeze kept us from melting away (although a few pounds wouldn't have been missed on me!).
Sometimes, being reminded that my plans aren't always worth following through is a good thing.
Today was that day.
