Späte Bescherung

This has been a pretty good day in all areas.
First thing I did was run 6 miles, partly on trails and on the golf course. The sun was rising up so beautifully over this little lake I ran to. On the golf course I was able to pick a tangerine right off the tree. I should have taken it home as I has another half mile to run, but I ate it right there, so the last mile didn’t go too well.
Later I went out working with Ashley and we got to employer presentations. I enjoy working with her so much more than driving around by myself. It was fun today.
We got done around one o’clock and it turned out that Jon was already at home. They don’t have a whole lot to do right now, so he had the afternoon off. He made some wings (for himself) and some mushrooms (for me) on the grill and it was so warm that we could eat lunch on our back porch together.
I worked a little bit more updating my spreadsheet and then went on a nice 17 mile bike ride to and along the beautiful Indian river.
When I came home Jon had picked up a package from the post office that contained all his parents’ christmas presents. We had fun unwrapping them and actually had a little bit of the christmas feeling that didn’t really come up in Key West.
We drove out to the barn together, cleaned Brownie’s pen and went for a little walk and bareback ride. We couldn’t go very far with Jon’s broken toe, but he took many pictures of Brownie and me and it was so nice spending time with him.
For dinner we made Smoky Chipotle Mac-n-Cheddar, which was voted best homemade Macaroni-Cheese by Jon. I really liked it, too and we have enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
We both enjoyed the fact that we could spend a bigger part of the day together than usual and it looks like we’ll be able to do that tomorrow again.
