I can't believe it's (supposedly?) summer, and that we're already through 2/3 of June. It hasn't been much of a spring/summer so far, sadly... temps cooler than average, not a lot of sunshine and a fair bit of rain. :p (Today is pretty nice, though!)
We had planned to spend Father's Day afternoon at the movies last weekend, but BIL invited us over there for lunch and dh said OK. The nephews & their wives were there, as well as SIL's elderly father & her brother. It was a lovely lunch & we enjoyed the time with the nephews (& the dog, lol) -- even though there was a LOT of baby talk...!
No plans for this weekend, although we may try to go see "Late Night" with Emma Thompson & Mindy Kaling.
Lots of posts & photos about kids' graduations/"moving up" ceremonies/last days of school in my social media feeds. Sigh.
My 40th (!!) high school class reunion is this weekend. (There are already some photos on our class Facebook group.) I'm not going -- we're heading that way in a couple of weeks to visit my family & celebrate my dad's 80th birthday, and I didn't think I could stretch the visit that far (let alone make two trips in such a short time frame). I'm sure I would have had an OK time if I'd gone, but I don't think my absence will be much noticed. As I said previously:
I wouldn't MIND going -- I'm certainly curious to see how everyone's turned out ;) -- but I'm not dying to go either. Having to explain my childlessness/only daughter's stillbirth (umpteen times, I'm sure...) is certainly a factor in my reluctance.... I'm not sure I would be the ONLY person there without kids -- but I'd definitely be in the minority. And nevermind the kids -- I know many of my classmates are now (gulp) grandparents! I only have so much tolerance for admiring other people's kid/grandkid photos & listening to their stories... particularly when they never seem to be very interested in my own.
Also coming up soon: our 34th wedding anniversary. Not sure how we're going to celebrate. Dinner out, at least. :) Likely something more next year for #35. :)
Congrats on 34 years. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI think for #35 you should visit the US Rocky Mountains and give me a chance to congratulate you in person :-)
