Midsummer happiness!
Midsummer… I actually had a good midsummer this year, believe it or not.
peting73 went to his friend like he does every Midsummer. And wanted to do this year to. I wasn’t so very interested after the disaster last year, put it that way…
Plan was to go to my aunts, since she always has that HUGE midsummer party every year where pretty much my whole crazy extended family meet up. So they did this year as well. :-)
At first it was said that peting73 was gonna take moms car there and just go, but since mom had just done a plastic surgery to get rid of excess skin on her stomach, we had to pick up mom’s car at my brothers. No problems. :-) We did, so when peting73 felt it was time to go, me and Alexandra waved him goodbye and enjoyed ourself at said party. We had A LOT of fun and stuffed ourselves with the awesome food my aunt always cooks for said party. Cooks and bakes, I might add. :-D And there's a lot of games, and it's just... such an awesome party! But the best part was that I got to hang around my beloved extended family.
It was weird going home to moms after that though, since mom wasn't there. Alexandra was exhausted, so it wasn't hard to get her to sleep. Once she was, I borrowed mom's computer a bit before going to sleep to.
Mom came home the day after. Me and Alexandra had just spent the day exploring moms yard and saying hello to the neighbours hens and rooster. We also had time to go check out the traditional midsummer celebrations in the little town, which are run by the folklore dancing group I was once part of. So it was fun to let Alexandra experience that. Which she liked. And to see my old friends again which I haven't meet for years. It had been raining on and off all day, and after we'd had a horse and carriage ride, we got caught in a heavy downpour so we got somewhat wet.
That's what meet mom when she got home. We'd just gotten back to moms house and Alexandra had good clothes on, so she was fine. I was soaked through. :-P Seeing mom was great! The surgery had gone wonderfully, and she was doing awesomely despite having had her surgery just the day before. Aunt was driving her and she had my cousins as company, so we had an impromptu midsummer mini-celebration, since mom wanted that. She was a bit bummed about missing aunt's huge midsummer celebration the day before. She's never done that.
We had a lot of fun, aunt even got somewhat drunk which is always hilarious. I think I laughed so much my cheeks hurt once Alexandra got put to bed. Mom and I shared the bed and Alexandra slept in the guest bed mom has bought for all her grandchildren to use.
Next day me and mom and Alexandra just hung out and relaxed. It was, in a word, just what I needed. :-D Bliss. Calm. Nice. And I got to fuss over mom, to the point she told me I was being silly. X-D
peting73 was supposed to be back in the late afternoon but since his friend figured he could get some help from peting73 and asked it a bit late, he didn't get back until around midnight/1am somewhere. We chatted a bit, got a bit caught up with each other. I found out that despite that, he'd had a good time meeting his friend even though he agreed with me his friend needed to skip the grandeur since he still clings to the good old days of the student union pub and the Sexmasters and how cool he was then to everyone... *sigh*
Still, peting73 had a good time. I had a good time. Alexandra had a good time. And mom did to, getting to hang out with her grand-daughter. I think this was a win-win situation for everyone and it will probably be a re-run celebrating Midsummer like this next year to. :-)
