I've been trying to find a shooting club close to home for about a year for S14 and S16, with no luck. On Friday, by chance, at another activity, someone mentioned that he participated in this sport. When I asked where, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was just 20 minutes from home.
That is what we did yesterday. I asked H if he could go, but he said that he had to go to work.
I called him later in the day, since I wasn't at home, to ask if he knew what time the sporting goods store closed. If I had enough time, I was going to swing by and pick up some needed supplies, and have the boys test out a shotgun model that my dad owns and is going to let the boys borrow. I debated about calling, but I rarely call him, so I figured if it was a mistake, at least it was something different.
H answered his phone and suggested that the boys and I meet him at the store, as he was just about to leave work. So we did. The boys tested the gun. They were happy walking around the store with Dad.
H orders a special cake every year from a bakery in the city we're from. Last night he cut pieces for all of us, and set them on the kitchen table. I had been in the bathroom putting on my pajamas when he did this. When I came out, he called all of us into the kitchen and said that he had been waiting for me. He almost seemed like his regular self.
BTW, the boys had a blast shooting the shotgun with the club yesterday. They were able to borrow one until they get theirs. So that is what we'll be doing every weekend for the foreseeable future.
