Barnes and Nobles

It is Labor Day so we are all home today except Joshua. He is taking dual enrollment class at Hope College and Hope does not close for Labor Day. Before picking Joshua up again, we all went to down town Holland for the annual Truck Parade. Not too much fun for me, but I think Bert had a great time. We then wanted to spend some time in down town Holland, but everything is closed.
So we decided to do something or go somewhere together as family. I gave Joshua the choice to make a decision. With all the choices he can make, he chose to go to Barnes and Nobles!! So we spent a few hours there checking and reading books and had some Starbuck coffee. We then headed to Johnny Carino's for Lunch. Life is good.
We also stopped by Bed, Bath and Beyond to get some coffee for Daddy and some wedding gifts for a friend. For some odd reason, I could not stop thinking of Toby. Maybe because we are having too much fun this weekend at home. I miss Toby even more. I know he is in a good place and having a great time. However, that does not stop me thinking and missing him. I think Daddy noticed my bad mood. He must have called Toby. As I walked by him while he was on the phone, I head the name Toby. Suddenly, I broke into tears. I could not stop crying right in the middle of the shop!!! Bert got a smash wet shirt from my tears. Finally Joshua showed me a UofM blanket he grabbed from one the nearby shelves. We all broke out laughing. Thanks Joshua!! You know how to cheer me up.
Yes, I will have to get used to the fact that Toby is in a difference place and having a difference life...
