The bad: Kenny and Liz were the same time as George. We conquered and divided. We are all missing folks in our own way. Unfortunately, the kids are just like us when we were their age. I know it will mean something when they are older, but they are so wrapped up into themselves at this age that they can't appreciate what we are trying to teach them by participating in these events. Long two days in the car and standing in lines, but, OH, so worth it! Plus, we are waiting for news of Pam. Don't know whether to contact Jim or not. Sent a letter today. Hopefully, it will find him on a good day and not a sad day. All I do is cry for her, for Jim, for me, for the family, for life. It is just sad to say goodbye.
The good: Took a quick overnight to Michigan of all places. Spent the night at a waterpark and went tourist shopping for me. Quite impressed that it turned out OK and we had an adventure on top of it.
Dennis and Janice came for a visit on July 4th of all days. Had White Castle and she passed along a beautiful mantle clock from Elsie. Dennis gave us ideas on the kitchen. Pretty much decided on new quay quartz for the countertops and birch cabinets. Good time for all.
Went to garden art walk with Jenny. Completely forgot that she was coming earlier because I didn't write it down. UGH! We had a nice lunch and good time catching up. She is a really good friend to be so understanding. I was very embarrassed, but she was very forgiving.
The ugly: My basement is still in chaos. NEED to get moving on that one soon!
Busy weekend, but should be loads of fun, but it all depends.
