Vacation Tuesday

Vacation Tuesday, and I've spent the whole day thinking it was Saturday or Sunday. :) I love that about vacations.

Today was a busy day. J's parents came out at 1:00 to take us to lunch and to visit, so we spent the morning working on the house. J put a new coat of stain on the porch, and I cleaned inside - dusting, vacuuming, doing the dishes, cleaning the counters and the stove, that kind of stuff. Fun, right? But the house looks nice.

When I got done cleaning I took a shower, and I no sooner got out then my brother-in-law called and offered to replace the brakes on my car today. So I took an unscheduled trip to town to get the parts, and then to my sister's house so that he could do them. J came and picked me up, and then we went home and waited for his parents.

The visit was fun, as it always is. I like his parents. They took us out to a local diner that J and I like to go to, and then we went to a local store that specializes in food products made by people in NY State - small business people with a dream, for the most part. It's a very unique store, and I think they liked it - they bought a few things, anyway.

So once they had spent some money, we headed back home and hung out talking for a couple of hours before they went home, leaving J and I to our own devices. I'm glad that I like his family so much. And they like me - they brought me presents! Which I totally opened even though my birthday isn't until Friday. It was nice stuff.

J and I went and picked up my car, and now we're hanging out. J is watching the All Star baseball game, and I'm playing the Sims. It's pretty much a perfect evening, if you ask me.

I really do love vacations.
