Can't remember the last time I was excited to drive out of Heartland and not complain about traveling the give or take 125 kilometres and an hour thirty minute drive towards Barrhead. A contented smile leaves my lips as I think about what awaits me there. Those mesmerising sparkling light blue sapphire eyes beckoning me deeper into them and the image of Lisa's beaming smile. Lisa's been away three weeks in France with breeding season in full swing over there and today she gets back but decided to change flight plans or rather add an extra one from Calgary to Barrhead to meet me for this Agro Expo being held at the The Barrhead Blue Heron.
I didn't know how much, I would miss Lisa until she went to France. Obviously I didn't want her to go but I know she needs to go for business, so that was that. But god I missed her, dropping by just to talk about something that happened at Fairfield or one of her horses or just about anything and everything. I hadn't realized how quickly accustomed I came to her being around at any given moment until she left and seemed to take every ounce of life with her as well.
I was pretty damn surly with everyone and much, much more then usual, I realize and chuckle. While I know it was Lisa that suggested she meet me in Barrhead when we realized the expo date and her arrival would be on the same day but that was before she left on her trip. I am a bit apprehensive that she might have met someone in France and more importantly someone younger that will be able to keep up with her and be a better fit for someone like her. Nevertheless I decided to chance it to be able to see her again even though "whatever this is" between us might not be anything anymore, after her trip and her good sense came back to her and she realizes what a mistake she's made.
