Grandma Joyce and Uncle Roger came to our house Thursday night. They guessed that they’d arrive between 6:00 and 7:00 and I decided if we were daring, we could have supper at Melissa’s and still get home in time. With Melissa working more, we don’t get to chat as much as we used to and I miss our suppers together when they don’t happen. Of course, I miss Grandma Joyce and Uncle Roger, also, but I saw an opportunity to eat my cake and have it, too. I got Reid from daycare and into the car as fast as I could, which isn’t terribly fast because it’s awfully hard to hurry her when the world is filled with such interesting things. We got to Melissa’s speedily but safely and I boldly stated we had to leave by 6:15 - sharing supper once a week gives me the familiarity one needs for such a statement. We had pizza (yay for pizza!) and ate some cookies - I guess I didn’t eat my cake actually - before dashing. Reid and I made it home at *least* 4 minutes before Grandma Joyce and Uncle Roger arrived. What an exciting start to their visit.
