I had dinner with Dad & Ma tonight. We got pizza from Mike & T's (called Town House of Pizza for the last few decades, but my childhood pizza place will always be the former to me - haha!). I got my usual: extra cheese and anchovies. Their cheese hasn't changed since I was a kid, and anchovies are my thing.
SO GOOD!
Today a big chunk of the family met down at the lake, a reschedule of a day that was supposed to happen last month while Jason & Stacie were here from California, but which got cancelled by bad weather.
So:
From Ma's side of the family it was Jean Marie and Judy.
From Dad's side it was Aunt Carol (and Bob) and Leanne; Uncle Fred, Aunt June, Katie, Ginny and her daughter; Mary; Wendy and Ted.
And my siblings & their spawn: Kevin, with Jared; Sarah and Jon (with maybe Hayden, Celia and Helena stopping by much later, but I wasn't around to see).
I was there from 2:00 - 4:00 pm, with a 20 minute walk to and from the Gatehouse in between. I brought iced tea and a Black Forest Ham and Swiss sandwich on good white bread with butter, which were both perfect for the hot and humid weather. I also brought some chocolate graham cookies to share, but they melted on the table (haha). It was great to see everyone, and two hours was the perfect amount of time, since no one was swimming and most of the younger generation weren't around.
I was headed to Dad & Ma's anyway, so I stopped at the lake first to walk and look around. SOMAfm and the mile, and then to their house to hang out for a couple of hours. I might go back down either Tuesday or Thursday to clean up the water area seen in the last two photos. It has potential...
