Yesterday I got the car and hoped to visit my friend. Turns out she was busy (the nerve) and didn’t get home early enough for us to drop in while we were running around all over God’s half-acre. We triapsed up and down the area, both sides of the river.
Stopped in at all the little places that I always point out and Ron always drives by. ![]()

We spent loads of time in there, looking at every little thing. It was crammed full of stuff. Emma gave the lady a hug, and she seemed to enjoy it in a very sad way. Said it was a long time since she’d been hugged.
Ema hugged the clerk at every single place we stopped at.
At the library, they tried really hard to get her to sign up for the summer reading club. The theme is dinosaurs, so I thought she’d jump right on that. Turns out she was aprehensive about the morning meeetings. She asked, “Can the kids eat breakfast first, before they go to the meeting?”. It was only after we clarified that it was late in the morning (10:30) and we not only didn’t have to go to meeting, we probably couldn’t get to most of them, that she agreed to sign up.
I haven’t told her yet that we have to all leave the house early tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Sarah’s been watching too much Food Network.

And in final news: I think, no I *know* my email is wonky. The only mail I’ve recieved in the past few days is comment notifies. If you sent me anything, I didn’t get it.
