Whoa

You guys, we had a really busy weekend. And I totally left my camera's memory card in my laptop here at the apartment. So I have NO PHOTOS.

:(

But, I can tell you that the granny square baby blanket is about 3 feet of double crochet away from being done, so look for that post tomorrow or Tuesday.

We started off this weekend learning that we got to house-sit at the Rohrer homestead while Tim's parents were visiting his Mom's family in western PA for the weekend. So our first stop when we got in town was to take care of the cows. We got to Mom's house around 11pm, then sat up until after midnight chatting.

I got up at 6:30 am on Saturday. And I did laundry, walked the dog, exercised, and cut flowers from the yard for the table before Tim got up at 7:30. I won't lie. I woke him up so I could have some company. I don't know why I got out of bed that early, since I usually don't even get up for work until 7.

We met up with some high school friends for breakfast at the Lincoln Diner in Gettysburg. Which was full of loud tourists visiting for the Gettysburg Festival. There was also a community day going on in Biglerville, but there wasn't too much congestion surrounding that.
After breakfast, we went to WalMart, then back to Tim's parents' house, where I decorated the kitchen with balloons and streamers while Tim fed and watered the animals. Since Tim's parents wouldn't be back until after we'd left on Sunday, we left the kitchen decorated and Dave's father's day card on the counter for them to come back to:)
We then went back to Mom's and had lunch. She left to go to my cousin's dance recital, and I went and visited a friend from a previous job who recently had her first baby. It was really nice to catch up for a few hours.
Afterwards, I rounded up Tim and my brother, and we met my Dad and Step-Mom at the Texas Roadhouse in Hanover for dinner. It was 80's night, and they played the same 10 songs over and over, but we got to visit, so that was nice.
While we were chatting in the parking lot, we witnessed a car accident on what's known as the Golden Mile (a stretch of car dealers and shopping centers on the outskirts of town). A little black car slammed into the side of an SUV and went off the side of the road. The car was totaled- the front wheel fell off and they left behind a few important-looking pieces of their car on the road. Both people in the car were fine. They jumped out and looked like they were going to argue with the other driver, but instead, they RAN AWAY. They fled the scene of an accident. Hit-and-run. And when my Step-mom called 911, the line was busy. An off-duty fireman had to call it in. And the police didn't show up for 10 minutes. And no one chased after the two guys who ran away for about 20 minutes.
Anyway, we gave Dad his gifts (a new dress shirt made for hot weather- it was really light and breathable-and some books-the history of the warrior and untold stories from Easy Company). We had to get my brother home so he could get to work, so we said goodbye and found a different way to leave the area, since there was now traffic surrounding the accident, blocking our preferred exit.

On Sunday, we went to visit my family outside of Baltimore for Father's Day/uncle Bob's birthday/Brother & Cousin's graduation party. We were late, so as soon as we got there, everyone dug into the food, which was great. I <3 cookout food. We chatted with everyone for awhile, and after most of the people left, Tim and I went swimming with my cousins and one of the neighborhood kids. It felt good to go swimming...we've been sweltering all month and it's not officially summer until tomorrow.
And after 2 hours of Marco-Polo, we took our leftovers and hit the road. I like going home from Baltimore, since we drive through 2 cities and approach a third in the course of 2 hours. We go through the harbor tunnel and Baltimore, then through Wilmington in Delaware, and finally exit 95 just short of hitting Philadelphia.

It's good to be back home:) I have a light work load this week, and I'm taking Wednesday off to have a girl's day with Susie before her wedding in 3 weeks:) Next weekend, we're back in Biglerville to visit Tim's family and see a baseball game with my Mom, Grandma, and cousin Frank:)

Hope everyone has had a great Spring! Bring on Summer!
