A short trip to the park

Yesterday Mom was out for most of the time when we would have gone for a long walk. By the time that she got home she knew there would be a lot of traffic, but she wanted to make sure that we went somewhere. I'm glad. We were starting to get on each other's nerves, I think. Wednesday we had bad weather, and I got very excited and she got annoyed about the things that I got excited about and about how I got excited. But yesterday we went for a walk around Houghton's Pond, and it was good. It was just a little walk, but I got in and out of the car by myself, and we met some nice people, and it was good just to get out and smell what was there to be smelled. Then we came home and both fell asleep together. It was a good day.
