At 9:30 we went to the hotel where Lori and her kids are staying. It was so good to see them here in "Sippi." Lori rented a car: two reasons--we wouldn't all fit into Brent's car and the girls wanted to go different places than the guys.
Our first shopping place was Plato's Closet, an upscale thrift store. That effort seemed to make all of us hungry so off to Cracker Barrel we went. That's one eating place marked off the California clan's list. (In this family, trips were often planned around places we wanted to eat. Once we were going to fly to Boston for dinner.........but that's another story.)
We went separate ways after lunch. I can't vouch for Brent and crew's activities for the afternoon, but the rental car beat a hot trail to Hobby Lobby. That's a great place to shop and to browse.
When we left there we must have all been tired because the other stores in the area didn't look enticing. On the way back to Brent's we stopped at Walmart for a few groceries.
Brent was just getting the ribs in the smoker when we got home. I can't verify what anyone else did with the afternoon because I took a long nap...a very long nap. I felt much better after that.
The ribs were wonderful, as usual. After our dinner settled, Brent lit the fireplace and we made s'mores. There was a lot of hilarity mixed in with these activities. That's the norm!
After that busy day, I was very happy to see my pillow!
