Day 6: Whatever Tickles Your Fancy
There was a whirlwind trip to Kalamazoo (my hometown) yesterday, during which we had lunch with my mom and her boyfriend (not that it was presented as such, oh no, we're far too high school for that), which was awkward. I'm not really a terribly social person, I just play one well, so a lot of situations are kind of difficult. Like, ones where I'm expected to hold conversations. So anyway, there we were watching my mom play blatant favorites with my kids (which my in-laws do too, so I can hardly say it's unique) and trying to come up with things to say for a couple hours. At least it was a flyby trip? Yeah, we'll go with that.
The rest of the day was a family reunion at the park where my wedding reception (and graduation party, and . . .) was held; it was a gorgeous day for it, if awfully hot. I saw cousins that I haven't seen in person (thank you, facebook, for all the pictures) in years, and a sister that I haven't too. It was nice to hang out - I took lots of pictures, but not enough. Most of the ones I ended up with are of one of my cousins (who's a decade older than I am) and her son playing with my youngest. Oh! And I got proselytized - some girl wanted me to save my soul by asking for Jesus' help or something. I was dumb and didn't get it at first - thought she was just asking about churches in town, which I actually know quite a lot about, given that I was Super Youth Group Girl (tm) through junior high and high school. I laughed a lot about that on the way home.
