Don’t get me wrong. The past few days have been luscious! The Love Bug likes to have High Tea every day with an assortment of stuffed animals. And we love to dress and undress her baby doll and push her to the park in her tiny stroller. There’s always something exciting happening at the park. A Little League baseball game, dogs and children playing everywhere. This whole city way of life is pretty special; we even have a puppy store we can walk to after our favorite breakfast spot! Why did I always insist we live in the country?
But today the Nanny came to give Nana a break.
We waited on the porch for Ms Christy and watched the rain. We played Legos and danced once the sun came out! It was wonderful to see how much she loves Ms Christy, she couldn’t wait to run into her arms.
And so I’m sprung. Sitting in an upscale Nashville mall, watching urban seniors hiking the Green Hills and brigades of young moms pushing strollers in packs. So this is how you exercise in Nashville!
You know after this I’m heading to my favorite bookstore, Parnassus. The other day Garrison Keiler dropped by, I wonder who will be there today? Maybe Ann Patchett?
Thank you to the Bride and Groom for arranging nanny time for nana. It was a brilliant idea! But I can’t wait to get back to my Bug, our plan is to bake some cookies if it’s still raining – otherwise it’s “Outside Nana!”

Sounds luscious but even grandparents need a brake from 24/7.
You are absolutely right!! But you 2 are lucky to see yours so often!
That High School right next to Parnassus? That’s where my daughter, Liza, teaches!! Maybe someday you and I will be in N-ville at the same time….
Oh that would be so wonderful Eve! We could have fried pickles and visit every day. Does she miss the ocean? Jess is feeling landlocked lately.
So lucky to be able to babysit that way! And yes, a little relief is a good idea.
