Well, Alexa was playing hooky. It was my day off anyway, so I was just along for the ride. And now I can’t think of a better way to spend a Monday afternoon than a long lunch at the Great Lawn, a wander through the Ramble, and a ride on the carousel to top it all off. It was just perfect.

As we stood outside listening to the music and watching the horses, I told Alexa I wished I had a child so we’d have an excuse to ride the carousel. The next thing I knew, she was handing me a ticket. Later on when I expressed surprise that she had actually bought us tickets and we had actually ridden the carousel, she said, “Oh Angie, have you learned NOTHING from me?”

This says so much about Alexa. Oh how I love that girl.

Also, a final note worth mentioning: The weather has been cooling down a bit these past few days. Fall is on its way. I am excited.
