Year 2, Day 133, Vacation, Day Three

Unexpected, and very hard rain descended on the region today, spoiling our blissful pool holiday. Forced to rejigger plans, we headed out to Emily's sister's house, a 20 minute ride that took us an hour because of misremembered signs and a some lapses of attention. By the time we go there, we had little real time to spend before Magnolia and I had to turn around and come back. She fell asleep in the car, but Ruby went on to see the world's largest kaleidoscope.

Breakfast
4 (very small) slices of multi-grain toast
2 eggs
1 tomato
Coffee

Snack
Cheese
A bite of cantaloupe, peach

Lunch
Lettuce, Cheddar Cheese and Balsamic Vinegar

Dinner
Chicken, Ribs
Salad
Pickles

Everyone converged at the rental house tonight including my father and his wife. No one drank any liquor, much to my chagrin, as I enjoy he occasional alcoholic beverage, but in the country there was none to be found but some Coronas that were in the fridge. We managed to fashion a second dinner out of the massive amount of barbecue from the night before, and added some various things. It has felt like a big eating vacation, and today there was little activity to warrant a calorie uptick.

That's just how vacations are. Maybe we will do better in August. At least there will be a pool again and we can hope for better weather. Love, MOM
