So Saturday morning we met up to try on the costume I'd made for Sarah and Jeff, Rachel and Stephen ran errands. They went to the apple store for Jeff to get his Father's Day present, a new cable he wanted for his ipod. They also checked out a magic and costume shop for a couple of hats, neither of which they found.
We then went to lunch at the Chatterbox. Lots of laughter, conversation and good food was involved. We walked up to the Teasource so I could stock up on my addiction. I love good tea and needed some summer teas for iced tea.
We followed that up with a trip to the Axman a surplus store to look for gadgets for costumes and I found corks and colored tape for summer craft projects. The girls had also stopped at a watch repair shop to ask if they had any broken watches they could have for their costumes and came away with about ten watches and stopwatches to take apart.
Saturday evening we cooked a dinner at Sarah's house outside in the fire pit then played Arkham horror. Sunday morning we met at 9 at Shish a wonderful restaurant for breakfast. It was marvelous to meet up with the Utters and hear their latest and just spend several hours talking and laughing. This weekend there was lots of laughter, hugs, and talking.
The dogs decided Rachel was pretty special and both wanted to sit with her. We teased her about being a dog person now (as opposed to the cat fanatic she is.)
Stephen headed west to Morris where he will work with faculty this week on a conference presentation and his TA stuff this fall. He'll then fly to Michigan for the conference, when he returns he'll spend about a week with Sarah in the cities before attending Convergence with Jeff, Rachel and Sarah.
