What a weekend
Jun. 21st, 2010 02:40 pmI brought Hannah and Dave a Chinese feast for lunch on Friday and then hung out with them at the hospital until Dave was ready to be transported to hospice. I'm glad I was there to assist with packing up their belongings and with getting everything in Hannah's car. I wanted to go to the hospice with Hannah, but I would have gotten there just in time to turn around and fight rush hour traffic to be home in time for the Ponte Alto Newcomers' meeting Hubbyfink and I were hosting.
Wow, was it a good thing I came on home. We had three newcomers show up thirty minutes before the meeting was scheduled to start. Thankfully,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
psalite and pirategirleee arrived at the scheduled start time just as a couple of ladies from Black Diamond (recent Tech grads who have moved to the area) came in. We had a full house with lively conversations and digging through books and munching on the numerous noms. The meeting wound down around midnight-thirty. Hubbyfink and I quickly cleaned up and dropped into bed.
On Saturday, we behaved like normal people. We did a little light house cleaning, a little laundry, floated in the pool for an hour or so, went to Amphora for a very late lunch (mmm... calamari goodness), a stop by Kohl's for Hubbyfink clothes, and home again home again jiggety jog. I nodded off during the E3 coverage on G4 and headed upstairs to nap while Hubbyfink played "Knights of the Old Republic". When I returned to the land of the awake, we caught up on home improvement shows and Doctor Who. Hubbyfink headed to bed during the Graham Norton show and I stayed up to watch "Cats" on Ovation until I couldn't keep my eyes open.
We headed up to Annapolis on Sunday morning for Father's Day lunch at Stony River with Hubbyfink's dad and mom. I do like my sister-law's family, but it's so nice when we can get one-on-one time with Hubbyfink's parents without kids running around. The food was wooonderful (much more crab to filler in the crab cake sandwich and the truffle fries are To. Die. For.) and the conversation lively. We eventually said our good-byes and headed towards Arlington to see Dave and Hannah again.
Happily, Dave was awake and alert and held a Pookie-cat on his lap. (Calmest cat ever, by the way.) We were there at the same time asrecalcitranttoy and vvalkyri. We watched the NASCAR race and talked about home improvement shows, movies, and the delicious-smelling hospice meal. Dave was nodded off a few times, but he was doing sooo much better than when Hubbyfink had last seen him on Tuesday. It was a very good visit.
