Dad's Diamond Jubilee
Last week, my dad had a milestone birthday. He wouldn't appreciate it if I told you which one it is, so I'll just say that it was between 59 and 61. So, to celebrate, we all decided to go out and visit him! Well, at least that's what I *thought* we decided. Turns out, it was just me and the local siblings. REMEMBER WHO'S THE GOOD CHILD, DAD!
So, off to the middle of nowhere, IL. No internet, hardly any phone service... I was quite cut off from everything! But, I did get to see a lot of family, and surprised Dad (I don't see how! He's the one who told me to come out!), and finished a knitting project (just my Wingspan. I hardly touched my fair socks!) and got my mom switched over to my phone plan, and had some lovely Chicago style pizza. I guess that's productive? It was nice to see all the family, though. But I'm glad to be back in civilization again :)
