She drove up and we ate a wonderful dinner together on Wednesday.
Even better, after the conference on Friday I journeyed to her house for the weekend.
Highlights of the visit:
A 7:00 am soccer game;
Making this month's Daring Baker's challenge;
Playing in the big city,
hitting my favorite used bookstore of all time,
as well as a wonderful kitchen shop.
Lunching at a great brewery;
Another soccer game in the afternoon;
Lots and lots and LOTS AND LOTS of rain;
Bet forcing me to shop on the ladies' side of the clothes store,
and buying my first clothes on that side of a store in a long time;
Another cooking store;
But mostly, just being with my friend and her family.

I came home to a very sick family, a very messy house, and unexpected shuttling of my dear Grandma to the world's latest-running eye doctor. Laundry coming out my ears, cats that won't give me a second of peace, and that wonderful overriding comfort of home sweet home.
I'll post later about the new kitchen gadgets and my library additions. I might even put up a picture or two I took on the lovely drive. But for now, I'm home, and that's about it.
Isn't it funny how if you manage to slip away and have a good time, you pay for it when you get back?
