Heidi

 Heidi
Tuesday is my light activity during the week. Tuesdays are usually free of any major projects and my schedule is light. This past Tuesday I decided to indulge and make it a day for myself. A day for me to relax and to do exatly what I wanted to do. I did make mental plans to drop something off to my son Andrew’s home. His house is on the other side of Uniontwn, Pennsylvania. I also planned while I was out to make some stops on my way home after the visit. He told me that he wouldn’t be home, but my Granddaughter Celine would be there.
My son has several acres. He keeps chickens, several ducks, and a small but growing herd of goats that he raises to sell. His younger daughter Moriah has a cow-milk allergy and I believe that they are also aiming to raise a few goats for their milk.
I took my time driving along the roads to his home keeping the car a couple of miles under the speed limit the whole way. Why not? I had all day. When I arrived Celine was feeding bottles to a pair of the youngest goats. We had a great time talking as she finished and then introduced me to the other animals sharing the names of the goats. I was able to relax with her and enjoy the sunshine.
I stopped at the Uniontown Mall to visit an antique storre, but was sadly disappointed. It was no longer in business. I made one lap around the interior of the mall to see what businesses remained. But nothing interested me.
My next stop was at the Grocery Outlet. The variety of foods with some name brands and other foods with odd aand off the wall names filled the shelves. Some prices are exceptionally low, while others are about the same as my local stores. I did buy a few items, then climbed into my car and returned home, my relaxing day was over.
Later, when I was talking on the phone with my son that I felt like the Grandfather in the book Heidi and Celine was the little goat girl. I imagine everyone has read the book or seen the movie of the little girl Heidi visiting her Grandfather in the Swiss Alps. Grandfather had just visited the Alps.
