So the Main Distractor and I went Back East to North Carolina for just over a week, to visit his family. We stayed at the lake, and went swimming, and went boating, and played a LOT of Euchre (and Pepper).
It was hot, and humid, and so fun. We watched the longest fireworks display I’ve ever seen! from the boat. I played bingo at the VFD hall (didn’t win). Met some old friends again, and some new friends.
Getting there was a nightmare of red-eye and layover…getting back was a marathon, too. I can recommend always having a Mini Moon Pie in your bag to share with an airline employee who might be doing you a favour.
I’ve been instructed that I can adopt the MD’s granny as my own
