BB and I rarely have the same day off. I sit at my desk, in my cubicle, nine to five, Monday to Friday. (Sounds dire, doesn't it? It's really not.) BB works 6 days a week, evenings or afternoons. The theatre goes "dark" on Mondays and that is when he gets to come out into the light.
It's a special treat when we share the day off. We look forward to simply being together without a schedule. Today, there are a few chores to be done, the dishwasher needs to be emptied, the sheets have to go out on the line, the recycling has to go to the garage and a picnic must be packed.
Wait. A picnic? That's not a chore is it?
When we don't have a plan but know we want to go Somewhere, Anywhere, we pack the car with a picnic, the camera, shoes (because I never know if I'll need heels, running shoes or rubber boots) and we just go.
BB is the adventurer in our partnership, he's a curious guy (hehe you can read that two ways, can't you?). He'll turn down a road and I will ask where we are going. He won't know, he just wants to see where that road leads. It will be a beckoning he tells me. His beckonings have led us down lots of roads, we've found treasures for our home, seen things we never expected to see and always have a story to tell when we get back home.
Take a new road today, go on a beckoning.
Tell us what you see.

i love this photo leading to.....a beckoning. i like that phrase as well. my own husband is very much the explorer and wanderer in our relationship. he has done this all his life and i find this quality to be very attractive.
