We all slept late, and I went for a morning run into the Jonkershoek valley. The clouds were playing hide-and-seek with the mountains, and the sun was amusing them both!
In the late morning, I dealt with the aftermath of yesterday’s smash. Details were gathered, forms were filled, and plans were made for a new vehicle. I’m so thankful I purchased “supercover” insurance; the financial fallout will be minimal.
This afternoon, Catherine, Tracy, and I went to Butterfly World. What started as a butterfly house is now a tropical garden and wildlife sanctuary. We saw a few butterflies, but the big attractions were birds, meerkats, and Catherine’s favorite Tamarins. She was happy to fulfill their expectation for affection when they crawled into her lap. At ten, the world is full of wonder.
