And so... on the second day...

joegodaSee, I wanted to go down to the river about 6, but I was tweaking my XP. Of course, I'm missing a few things, like a decent Image editor, but that will fix itself. I still haven't added my text editor, but I'll get to it. I did get the Wonder Wash that my wonderful Sis in SAC sent. It's bigger than I expected, and it doesn't have a drain like I thought it did, but hey, these are little things. I use it tomorrow to wash up socks and such and see how it does.
Then 7 o'clock rolled around. I decided I better eat something, so I heated up a hamburger in the skillet. 30 seconds after that, the phone rang. I looked at the clock. 7:12. I wanted to be gone by 7:20, but I knew I wouldn't make it. I knew who was on the phone even before I answered it. Second call of the day, just to chat about nothing in particular.
I left at 7:40pm, and I will say, categorically that it was without the doubt the best attended non-picnic I've ever attended.
Bob was birdless, having set his charges free earlier. I could tell it was a bit of an emotional loss for him. Letting your children go the way they need is always traumatic.
Larry was riding a motorcycle when I first saw him. A very cool motorcycle. I decided that since it was my birthday yesterday, I would get some Icecream, and so I did. Larry was about 3 people ahead of me. Now, that man is an enigma... very quiet, but a very nice feel about him.
Charity showed up later, and she looked like she had the sort of day that most people who work for a living do... she was a bit worn, but still looked good.
Kim was there. Such a sweet face on that woman. I fell for her over two years ago, and it just won't quit. Good thing the world doesn't rotate that direction. She's got the pout thing down, let me tell you, and I would be sooo wrapped around her finger.
April, Chris, and the Squire were there. We, she and I, have decided that April is the Evil Baby of our Evil Power Twin set. I could have sworn that somewhere in the night she called me an asshole, but I'll be darned what I did to get that assignation, but I won't deny it. I think I agreed with it, in fact.
Of course, Tim and Sherry were there. And Susi and Becky were there! It's always good to see Becky. I don't know her half as well as I want to, but with Riley as her husband, she must be a good soul, though I can tell from her face that she's had her share of interesting adventures. Susi looked as lovely as always, maybe just a tad younger. It happens sometimes.
Christina, who has dissapeared into the wilds of Tennessee, and used to go by the name of mspolliard was there on one of her too infrequent trips here. She turned Tim onto another Festival involving large crowds, lots of noise, dust and heat. Like he needs another one. Sheesh.
Tim gave me a toy for my birthday! A little choo choo from the Wild Wild West collection! B & G know that I loves my toys!
I think I got everyone... There was a bunch of 'em, let me tell you. A right happy, motley group, too. Laughter and chat and we took up probably twenty-five hundred square feet all told, just from where we were sitting.
As we were leaving, Sherry got a text message from Christina that there was a fox in the parking lot! A FOX, I tell you! Well, there wasn't anything for it but for Tim and me to track the bugger down. Bad time for me to NOT have my camera, but Tim did, cuz he's just like that, and that's why I loves him. He flashed the little critter twice and I hope the pictures came out. A FOX! How very cool is that??
Anyway, it was a good, good night, even though my beginning was not quite as good as I would have liked. Wish you, and you know who you are, could have been there, because if you weren't there, then that's who I'm talking to.
