Yesterday Dad invited me home for some grilled ribs, and who am I to resist free food? Invited Haley along for the ride, too, since she had been craving steak for a few days and thought ribs might take the edge off a bit. My parents happily accepted her as one of the family and spent most of the afternoon telling her stories and giving her a bit of a history lesson. Food was good, company was awesome, and we were sent home with a whole bunch of left overs. There is no bad in this. I also got two huge goody bags put together by the ladies of the church I grew up in, which was an extremely nice bonus.
Dad also started talking about Powers Bluff and the history that place had, so before Haley and I headed back to Point, we all decided to head up there for a visit. It was a nice day for one, too, and we probably spent at least an hour or two wandering around listening to my dad talk about the Bluff and it's importance to Wisconsin and Native American history. From what I could tell, Haley was having a really good time and learning a lot - she might've even had a few ghosts whispering in her ear, which isn't an uncommon occurrence up on there. Good times, even if there were a lot of people with horses and a few kind of obnoxious kids running around.
Got back to Point around 7 and spent the rest of the evening sitting on the couch playing online. Watched Practical Magic, ate left overs, and wrote a Thank You letter and card to the congregation of Immanuel United Methodists Church (who gave me the care packages) before I finally turned in around 1:30 in the morning. All in all, it was quite a nice Sunday, and a good break from the city for a few hours before school once again eats my life.
