I got up with King J to see him off to work, as I do almost every workday. I had a little time to do a few tasks around the house before we went off for a walk at the park. Princess E and I walked twice last week and once so far this week. It's hard because it has been so long. We walked with our friends from across the street. I think my friend is a race-walker. LOL! Nah, I'm just a little slow. But, I'll get there.
Then, it was off to Bible study. I've recently joined a new group of homeschooling moms for Bible study. Our first week went well. Princess E had the opportunity to spend the time playing with the children of the other mom's. I think there were a total of 20 children there.
After that, we were both getting really hungry, so we hopped over to Shanghai for a bite of lunch. Munchkin and I both enjoy Chinese cuisine, while King J does not. It's a rare treat for us.
Next stop was Tractor Supply Company. They have baby chicks and ducklings in the store. Princess E asked and was told she could pet them. We spent a good little while talking and playing with them. I picked up one duck and he was obviously frightened. I put him back with his pals. The chicks were more comfortable being handled. There was an open bag of food lying at the side of the tub, so we each grabbed a handful and fed the chicks. One of them kept jumping into my hand and eating from it. Several others came over and ate out of my palm. Princess E enjoyed feeding them as well. It was fun...until one of the staff came over and sternly informed me that we were not to be feeding the chicks. I apologized and we stopped immediately. My bad. I assumed (bad idea!) that the permission to handle/pet coupled with the open bag of feed meant it was welcomed.

Too soon, it was time to head home and get the schoolwork finished.
A good day. I wish more of them went so well.
