Just popping in to say that I had an awesome two days with
Rune and
Kath recently! Those two always know how to make me laugh.
**The links in this post are photos. Those of you who are Facebook friends with me may have already seen them.
The first day, we went to the beach and I was
really excited about it. Rune, on the other hand, was
very rugged, and Kath was just her usual
lovely self! We took a nice long walk down the shore. I got accidentally soaked by a wave while investigating a strange piece of buried metal. And I attempted to explain the geography of Long Island to Kath. Our conversation was something like this.
Kath: So is Long Island actually an island?
Me: Yes, it's not a faker like Rhode Island. There's the bay to the north, and the Atlantic to the south, which is where we are. You know this ocean personally.
Kath: Actually, I don't live on the ocean side of England.
Me: Whoops.
That night, we cooked dinner and went to see Toy Story 3! It wasn't Rune's first choice of movie, but Kath and I wanted to see it, so we flipped a coin and that was that. Rune was a perfect gentleman, however, and bought us cotton candy, yum!
The second day was very laid back. We played some overly complicated nerdy board games (the best kind!) and went minigolfing. On the minigolf "course," there was a
big Yankees themed cow sculpture. Tackytown! Of course we had to
take pictures with it. We also tried our hands at the batting cages. I regretted to note that my skills have steadily declined since my days of All-Star Softball. And we had yummy Thai for dinner!
How can I help but love
those two? I'm looking forward to seeing a
Brinn and some
Finns next week!
