Sorry to disappoint, but I was too tired to post last night. When The VP got home, we dragged everyone to the local elementary school for a pork chop feed which was being held to help fund a new playground.
Trying to cut up chops with a plastic knife and fork has got to be straight out of Machiavelli's handbook.
The food was good and so was the cause, so it was worth the frustration. I guess next time the Lions host a pork chop dinner, I'll remember to bring the Wusthof with me.
After dinner we had to return The Senator's friend to his home. The home that I had been to once and assumed I could find again. The home whose address is not listed in the phone book. The home whose phone number had been disconnected and whose new number was not in my possession.
I only took one wrong turn, but had I followed the directions issuing forth from the back seat, we would have been in South Dakota. By the time we found the right road, my head was pounding. Suppressing the urge to yell "shut up" is hard on the grey matter.
Once The Senator and I made it back home, I was in no mood to post. I didn't even have the energy to gloat over how The Governor bent to my will and ate his peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The victory has dulled a bit, so I will only add...it was sweet.
One last note: Grandma and Grandpa, we got your postcards! The boys enjoyed them. The Senator now wants a horse and carriage. Hope you're having a great time and I hope the reunion goes well too!
