Peg’s sister and brother-in-law, Tonie and George, were the early risers this morning. When I got up at a time I would consider about normal for us, George and Tonie were already seated in the early morning sunshine outside our door reading the Skagit Valley Herald. Multiple pots of coffee and some Irish Cream later, we started on breakfast for the first shift diners. It was a bacon, fried potato, link sausage, cheese and egg scramble for breakfast, most of which I pre-cooked yesterday while Peggy, her sister and our daughter went on a visit to La Conner’s Quilt Museum.
Dana and Devon got up a bit later and we repeated the feeding ritual. George and Tonie had some chores at home so they split about noon. Dana and Devon stayed on and we took a cruise around the La Conner area stopping downtown for ice cream. There, I put on a demonstration of How Not To Eat An Large Ice Cream Cone On A Hot Day by inadvertently dribbling on my shirt like a vegetable having a cocoa. I was appalled at my sloppiness and we quickly returned home so I could take off the proof.
Dana and Devon split around 6:00 PM and Peggy and I returned to our quiet but thoroughly enjoyable lifestyle. We will take the trash and numerous beer bottles to the dumpster and recycling center tomorrow.
