Marking another thing off my list …
25. Pack a picnic and kick the soccer ball around.
It was a warm Saturday afternoon in April, and we set out to Rancho Palos Verdes to find one of our favorite parks, a vast expanse of green grass high on the hill overlooking the Pacific and, on a clear day, Catalina Island. We kicked around the soccer ball. H, forgetting that he married a klutz, tried in vain to teach me how to juggle the ball with my knees. Then we unpacked our lunch: pesto chicken sandwich, popcorn, pears and cold water. We discussed how we would spend our lottery jackpot when we win it. Then we collapsed onto the blanket and watched the wispy clouds pass by overhead. A perfect afternoon.
