livingdebToday I am riding with Robin for about four hours to a reunion of his family in Livingston, Texas, a small town quite a bit north of Houston. This is a barbecue, planned in the middle of spring so that maybe more people will be able to come than came to the last reunion at Thanksgiving. Based on that last reunion, I'm going to predict that there will be no place to sit. And that Thanksgiving there was more food than I've ever seen at a Thanksgiving before, so I can't even imagine how much there will be with extra people. Maybe no one will get to sit at a table because they all will be covered with food. Then the grown-ups will get to sit inside, and we will sit outside. At least it's supposed to be getting warm again today, up to about 70 degrees.
(Yes, I'm 43 years old, but when not enough people bring kids, then the old kids are still the kids of the group. I used to be insulted, but then I realized the kids' table is usually more fun than the grown-up table anyway.)
(Although Robin has some great relatives at all ages. My favorite are his aunt and uncle who are in their seventies.)
On the way we will sing along to Robin's new disk of over 100 songs he made. I may also read to him.
Sorry, blog buddy, no cookie for you for today. I know you set up this whole trip so I would be gone all day, unable to write. But I foiled your plan! Ha!
