Journaling -

Back from the picnic.

Atmosphere was great. Skies blue, few clouds, few mosquitoes , lots of butterflies and dragonflies, running water and lots of greenery. Lots of food and drink, a blanket on the ground, a ball to kick around. No traffic noises, no electronic hum, no cell phone service! Yes, we were somewhere remote, semi-wild and peaceful.
I just enjoyed it all, smiled, was pleasant and happy the whole time.

STBX popped by around 12:15. We took his vehicle as that's what he suggested. I had pre-ordered a lunch and as I was to go get it STBX came along with me. (Surprise #1) He was quick on the draw with the credit card (Surprise #2), as I was going to grab my own.

We chatted pleasantly enough on the drive there and back and during lunch sitting beside each other eating. Mostly about his work and light social conversation. He did not attempt to touch me and kept his distance pretty much. He kind of let the kids run interference between us, preferring to walk beside one of them, than me.
At least that's how it seemed. I am not upset by this, it's not unusual behavior, and in a way I'm past caring. I'm ready to kiss other boys grin

A very pleasant afternoon. I'm still amazed he accepted the invitation.
