Noel has graciously had us over for lunch the past two Sundays as the boys and I waited for Peter to finish some church duties, and as she lives right across the parking lot and has yummy food, the arrangement has been eagerly repeated. I don&#8217;t think Peter had even eaten his sandwich before he had opened the boxes of networking &#8220;toys&#8221; he called them and proceeded to set up internet for the Sharratt&#8217;s. (So maybe, if you&#8217;re able to read this, Noel, welcome back to the online world, and thank you again for lunch!) Peter sent me off to pick up my sister as he wasn&#8217;t quite finished setting things up and she was waiting. Gigi&#8217;s sunshine brightened my afternoon and outlook a little more. I&#8217;m so grateful to have her in my life! When we got back to the church Peter was wrapping things up, so we piled in the car and headed out for a hike in the last of the afternoon sunshine. Noel had suggested Corriganville which was just a couple minutes away, and where I hadn&#8217;t been since before Peter and I were engaged! I remembered some stunningly beautiful oak trees with a clearing underneath, but I didn&#8217;t find it right away when we got there. The boys went straight to the rocks to climb!<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox[corriganville]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_0907ps.jpg\" title=\" Running to the rocks!\"><img src=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_0907ps.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\" Running to the rocks!\" \/><\/a><a rel=\"lightbox[corriganville]\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.streetpoet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/dsc_0909ps.jpg\" title=\" Ian\u2019s ride for most of the day.
