Saturday went fine. We ran into a little rain on our journeys, but just a shower. My wife found a used book store she really liked, so we spent some time there. We also shopped around for a while. I didn't find the shoes I wanted, so that's still to be done. Had our pizza. Got home in time to watch a movie, then went to bed early for some serious snuggling.
The big thing this week is our visit to her family in northwestern Wisconsin--her dad and most of her brothers and sisters. Because of the Memorial Day holiday, we're putting the paper together early, so I'm hoping we'll be able to hit the road by 4 p.m. Friday for the four-hour drive west.
The visit will mainly consist of visiting her sisters and her dad. Maybe there will be a cookout on Sunday. We also hope to harvest some of her dad's asparagus, which we'll take back home and freeze for some meals I like. If the asparagus is still growing, that is. Otherwise, we'll have to do like most people and buy it at the store.
I've written about visits to the inlaws before (probably on MB). For me, it's something I do for her, and I do my best to enjoy myself. But when too much religion or politics is in the air, I quietly retreat to the bedroom for a nap. Not much sense arguing with people who are always right.
(Note to self: Remember to take the camera, because of all the birds in the area.)
We'll probably be leaving late Sunday afternoon for home because I'll have to run around on Memorial Day morning to the area cemeteries to cover the observances.
It's getting late. We're supposed to get some frost tonight: A freeze warning has been issued. Anyway, tomorrow is Monday, when we put the paper together. And then the early deadline for next week's.
Like the saying goes: "Today is the first day of the rest of the week."
