Dave's parents have just left after having spent the weekend visiting us
here in gorgeous Lewisburg, where the air is scented with cow flop and it
never stops raining. A good time was had by all nonetheless. Friday night
Dave assumed his position by the grill and cooked up a mess of steak and corn.
He's a grill master. Yesterday, I enlisted everyone's help to carry out my
grand tradition of moving furniture around the house. We brought the sectional
we bought last October into the living room and moved the purple couch out
into the garage. The purple couch was one of the items we procured when we
first moved in together many moons ago but since I seem to have absolutely
zero sentimentality, I'm pretty okay with it. Dave is thinking of keeping
the couch in the garage since it's now basically his shop. He's referring
to it as his "man den" which is a little creepy. Dave and his dad also rewired
our cable so that instead of running down our hallway from the back room,
it now comes up through the floor in the living room. It's genius. We used
to stomp on the cable all the time by accident causing the picture on our
tv to get a little fuzzy which was most inconvenient, particularly when Gilmore
Girls or MXC or some other extrememly important television show was on. Anyway,
Dave's parents took us to the Lewisburg Hotel for dinner last night. We ate
in the bar area where a steady stream of wedding guests (who were attending
a reception being held at the hotel) were walking through to get to their
rooms. One of these guests was a very elderly, tall man who seemed to be a
bit unsteady on his feet. To make a long story short, Dave takes his watch
off when he eats and when the guy walked by he placed his hand on the table
like he was steadying himself and took Dave's watch as he went by. Dave said
"Excuse me" twice loudly, grabbed his hand, and took the watch back while
the guy gave a myriad of excuses for his action ranging from "You can't trust
people anymore, I wanted to demonstrate how easy it would be for someone to
take your watch" to "I wanted to check the battery for you". It was rather
extraordinary. And exciting! The only thing that could exclipse that kind
of excitement was heading for the Lewisburg Freez for ice cream which is what
we did. We spent the rest of the evening digesting and playing various games.
So, basically, Dave's parents came and left our house a much better place
to live. They should come down more often.
