My life is full of goofy people. This is a photo I took tonight of Kyle and my two brothers: William Todd (my little brother) and Warren (my adopted brother). The four of us went out this evening in an effort to unwind a little. William wanted to check out the old cars at the Saturday Night Cruising Party at Old Town Village. Unfortunately, it was raining a little, so the vintage auto crowd was not we had hoped for, and we didn’t stay too long. But, while we were walking this fun permanent midway-type area, I asked the boys to “stand together for me, please.” This is what resulted, and I decided that if they were going to be goofy smart-asses, I’d just go ahead and take a picture of their butts!
The evening out later took us to a place I’d been hoping to visit with Kyle called “The Pub.” It bills itself as an English/Irish, Welsh/Scottish pub, and the words “EPL SOCCER” are huge on the front of the building. I’d seen the place for years on my visits, but never had been there. Tonight was the perfect opportunity. And it will prove to be the first of many visits, I’m sure. We were quite impressed.
The whole outing was a great end to a long, hard, yet wonderful day. Our service of Celebration for Gammy’s life was at 2 p.m. Then, the cemetary, followed by the church reception . . . and we were home, wondering what to do next by 6 p.m.-ish. Many of our clan went their separate ways, knowing they’d see each other again tomorrow. The little group of us at the house, visited for a little while, and then the guys decided this outing would be fun. The rest stayed home, but the four of us had a grand time. And ironically, yet appropriate for us, we raised a toast to Gammy.
