Kind of sad this morning 'cause Jen left to return to Iowa. I think she had a great time while she was here, though. But, she should have stayed the entire 2 weeks.
Yesterday everyone did their own thing ...... Soren, Birgit and Susie went to the Kitty Hawk Heritage Festival and then to Outer Banks' Beachcomber Museum, where Nellie Myrtle Midgette's collection is located. Jen & I drove up later in the day to view the sea glass, shells, lanterns ..... too many things to list ..... that Nellie collected over the decades. Here is another site about the museum: Mattie Midgette's Store
Last night we watched the Iowa & Ohio State game, tailgating in the kitchen! We cooked brats and had potato salad, bean salad, deviled eggs & chips. Susie made a delicious apple crisp & topped it with ice cream. Yum! All of us Iowa fans were being armchair quarterbacks ...... a lot of cheering, yelling, screaming and cussing! Soren & Birgit found our game face antics quite amusing, I think. We tried explaining American football to them, but even though they politely nodded, I'm fairly sure they were confused about the rules.
Today was been pretty laid back ...... I'm getting ready to go to the beach. I'm being careful about staying in the sun too long this year. It sucks to get old with the worries of *aging* skin. Bah.
Maybe more tonight!
