Friday in the Park

Friday was an amazing day. I went to Chattanooga again to spend the day in the park with an amazing girl. We went to a little hippie place to eat lunch and I tried Lamb for the first time... ya know, i am usually against eating cute animals but damn that sandwich was good...

Anyway, we walked around town searching for a copy of a book that we both love and stumbled onto this amazing book graveyard so to speak... the owner of the book store surprised me when she knew exactly how many copies of the Hobbit she had left in that enormous book junkyard without looking at a registry or a computer or anything... I love places like that. Afterwards we took shelter under an overpass in the quietest place we could find and she read the first chapter to me. Her voice is so soothing and I could listen to it for hours. We followed a trail up to the walking bridge and headed across the river where the park was located.... there we sat for a while and I listened as she read me the next chapter... We laughed and giggle at the funny parts of the story and I (not being a very good reader myself) attemped to read her the third chapter of our favorite book.

We stayed in the park and got snow cones and enjoyed the rest of the day basking in the sun together... I can't think of any other way I would have wanted to spend my day... It's funny... I am not an avid reader but I love to hear her read to me... makes me feel like a kid again and it one of the wonderful things she and I can share together.

It is wonderful spending time with a person who is so smart and so kind... it has been a long time since I have enjoyed myself as much as I did on Friday... I didnt really want to leave but as we walked back arcoss the bridge, we shared a moment in the darkest gazing at the city skyline together. It is a moment that I will not soon forget.

Good night all you readers in Blogland : )
