A Weekend Away
Over the weekend, I took a trip to the C-House where my parents had a "surprise" for me. They told me about the surprise more than three weeks ago, but wouldn't let me know what it was until I actually went to Pennsylvania. My mind was wild with ideas, money, car, money, money and car (really, I'm not that materialistic, but what else could possibly be a surprise for me). Turns out, the surprise wasn't really for me. It was just a "look what we did" surprise. They built a garden pond.
Totally a surprise...just not for me. As if you need something to make the countryside even more relaxing, they built it. It's nice. Nothing quite like the sound of trickling water, mini-waterfalls, rocks, pools of water, and fish that hide when it's cold. Makes me want to pee just thinking about it.

hmm, that should say they had a garden pond built. they are too old to build it themselves.
and is it me, or does the second to last picture almost look fake.

That's really gorgeous, and the surprise reminds me of the kinds of surprises my parents have. Like "Surprise, we're moving" or "surprise, you're going to have a baby brother."
