"My Life's Still Mine and I am Yours..."
Aug. 7th, 2007 10:08 pmOh, we had a good time to-day! We drove off early and got to Selinsgrove in time, and the film was fantastic--we saw Hairspray. Waen loved it, which she doesn't usually. She loved the girl who played Tracy. And we sat in the back of the theatre where it was cool and shared diet Coke, even though she hates it, and we even got popcorn, and we laughed and laughed and she had a great time.
Then she decided we had to go get ice cream at the Cruiser Cafe, which is this fantastic old diner in Freebourg where you can actually get your food in a cardboard car (I am collecting them. next time I go I need to get the black hot rod with flames) and it has spinny seats with red leather covers, and she got a black cherry milkshake and I had an ice cream cone, and we laughed and talked to the waitresses and had enough money left over for a really good tip, and she found a brochure about covered bridges in our county, so we decided to drive to Oriental by Potato Valley Road so we could go through one, and we got massively, massively lost.
So we drove through the country for over an hour, sometimes really fast, looking at stuff and talking and getting loster and loster and having so much fun, and we passed the Run we were supposed to turn off on, and Waen screamed STOP THAT'S IT, so I slammed my foot on the brake and backed up the whole way to the Run, and we turned off and went down it for ten minutes before she realised we should have gone in the other direction-- XD So I turned us around and we went back and followed it and got to Snapper Road, and followed that to Oriental. We fed the horses together, and I took a photograph of the inside of the house, and got the water sample we needed, and then we drove home.
So I cleaned my bathroom for Daniel and then wrapt Waen's birthday presents, and wrote a few postcards and things and am working on Zara's birthday package. Waen and Mum finished Oliver's Travels.
To-morrow I am going to work not to work but to see Charlie; his brother died last week of a heart attack/cancer. He's feeling pretty bad, it seems like, so I thought he might like a visit. Then I actually am going to Newport for the job app. Daniel is coming God-knows-when, and somewhere in the middle of this I am watching Titanic with the Cleolinda parody in front of me (we have the book). That, I think, will be enough for one day. I really hope it cools down.
