the_rckWe spent most of yesterday with Scott's family. I took my laptop with me because we expected that everybody but me would go out on the boat because the weather was good. As it happened, no boating happened. We have no idea why. It wasn't raining. It wasn't even threatening rain.
We went to the library before going to Scott's parents' place. Cordelia had a hold that she decided she didn't want after all. I had about as many books as CDs, so I had a lot to check out. We decided to skip bubble tea because we were running quite late (Scott dillydallied all morning and didn't get into the shower until after noon). I'd promised Scott's parents we'd be there at two, and it was one thirty by the time we got out of the library. We had to stop to buy a loaf of bread on our way out of town because we flaked on making one ourselves. Oh, well, Zingerman's farmhouse wheat is probably better than anything we could make.
We stopped at Burger King for lunch on the way north. Cordelia and I both had oreo shakes while Scott had lime ginger ale. The Burger King where we stop on these trips has a drink machine that does all sorts of blended flavors. I think there are six different options for ginger ale. There are only two for rootbeer, though. I haven't checked any of the other options.
Once we were at Scott's parents' place, Scott and Cordelia played cards with Scott's mother and sister and our niece. I sat with Scott's father and brother-in-law and watched golf. I wasn't interested in golf, but there wasn't room at the table for someone who couldn't play. I felt like it would be rude to pull out my laptop or my e-reader, so I was pretty bored.
We had dinner about six, chicken, broccoli, salad and bread. After the meal, Scott got his brother and his brother's family on his iPhone via FaceTime. We talked to them for quite a while. Their younger daughter turned four last week, and our sister-in-law's birthday is this coming week. We were going to put candles on the pie we were to have for dessert, but nobody could find any candles.
After we had pie, most of us sat on the sun porch and talked. We stayed until a little after eight. We took a detour on the way home to get bubble tea. It was really crowded near Bubble Island. We were lucky in our timing. There was only one group in front of us, but behind us, the line went all the way to the door with a lot of crowding. It was late at night for me to have a beverage that large, particularly one with caffeine in it (it's green tea with flavoring), but I ended up sleeping okay.
