the_rckWe spent yesterday afternoon with Scott's family. Father's Day tradition in the family is that the guys go golfing while the women hang out at Scott's sister's place for the afternoon. This year, Scott remembered sunscreen. He usually forgets and ends up with a burn on his neck.
While the guys were golfing, we worked on putting together the invitations for Scott's parents' fiftieth anniversary party. Scott's sister made fancy cards that needed to have bits glued to them and tied on and so on. Scott's mother had printed address labels, and those had to go on the envelopes. We got everything ready to mail apart from putting stamps on the envelopes.
I'm going to have to find time to shop for a dress for the anniversary party. Scott's mother wants us all to dress up, and she wants us in the colors of the party. The only summer fancy dress I have is a bit too large and rather precarious. When I wore it for my cousin's wedding, I used a shawl as a guard against a wardrobe malfunction. I have a winter dress that I use for Christmas services, but it's the wrong color, even if I'm desperate. I have no idea where to even start shopping for a dress. I don't know my size. I just know that most places don't carry anything much that large.
Scott's going to have to shop for clothes, too. He doesn't have anything dressy, either. The color requirements will give him trouble.
I think Cordelia's got dresses that will work for the party. She's got a few dressy dresses. The only hitch is one she'll have to get over-- She doesn't like wearing the same dress twice. We do need to get out and shop for some more shorts for her. She was complaining yesterday about being out of shorts. Of course, some of that may be not being able to find the shorts. Her drawers are packed. Some time this week, I have to corral her so that we can go through her drawers and sort out what no longer fits and what needs to be put away until it starts to get cold again.
We stayed at Scott's sister's house until about 8:00. When we got home, Scott had to go out to return library books (we'd forgotten earlier in the day). He also bought snacks for us to take to the first softball game. Unfortunately, he's going to have to buy different snacks. There are nut allergies on the team, and these aren't nut safe. They say 'may contain tree nuts,' and that's enough that those girls can't eat them. Scott's going to be cranky about this because it seems to happen every time he buys snacks. (Also because he's going to be pressed for time after work today. The game's at 6:30, and he has to shower, eat and get to Rec & Ed to return the balls and such that they gave him for coaching soccer.)
