That Was The Weekend That Was
This was one of those weekends that didn't come together until Friday afternoon.
Friday -- We spent the afternoon making a massive bowl of potato and egg salad.
Saturday -- We went to the Pennsic Pity Party. Being an old Boy Scout, I had written directions. We set off. Siri agreed with all written directions for the first hour, so we stopped checking and simply went by her directions. We made a right turn. And entered a dead zone. Siri got 0 bars and shut down. The next turn was less than a mile. Siri was silent. We missed it. And kept going. And going. And going. "Honey, shouldn't Siri have given us another direction by now?" Being an old Boy Scout, I had these ancient artifacts called paper maps. We got back on course and arrived about two and a half hours later than we intended. :) It was a lovely laid back potluck at someone's house. Ken and Heidi, friends of ours from Geneseo were there. We 'wife-swapped' :) and Ken drove my car while I rode with Heidi back to their house. We were up until 3AM talking.
Sunday -- They had to leave for a Boy Scout function in the AM. We left for the NYSDB annual picnic nearby. They rejoined us after lunch. They had a wonderful time, Heidi got to make a tree ornament, they both won prizes in the raffle. I knew I wouldn't have forge time, so I brought chain mail, which a lot of people admired. At day's end, we parted ways. My wife and I drove into Buffalo to check on my mom's house and pick up another sheep fleece for our friend Barbara.
