All week I thought I would get to this post, and yet I didn't. I want to write though, before the next weekend happens!
Andrew and I were feeling some guilt about not doing more fun things over the summer. Our vacation was barely that (although we did what we could afford), and it just seemed like most of the summer was spent focusing on Robert. Given the circumstances, I don't think anyone would blame us, but in some ways there has been way too much focus on Robert in the last four years.
As Andrew and I were discussing this, he pointed our we could do something Saturday. My vote against it was simply that it was the first day (in what felt like forever) that we had absolutely nothing on the calendar...I wanted to keep it that way. We decided though, that an early dinner out would work out for us all. We crossed the state line and went to a state lake where they have a restaurant with outdoor dining overlooking the lake. The weather was lovely, and there was a lot of activity on the lake. We enjoyed being able to chat with Catherine and Thomas. After we ate, we drove around the lake a bit just to learn the area. Andrew and I have always dreamed of a second home near the water. This one is much closer than my dad's place would've been. It's nothing more than a pipe dream right now, but it is fun to dream!
