Sean's sister, Jenny, is in town so it has been fun to spend time with her. She likes to play games so there have been quite a few nights and afternoons spent at the Doyle's entirely filled by playing various board and card games. Since Mr. Doyle is going through his entire house and re-doing it, Sean and Jenny have found games from their childhood that we have been playing (most of which I have never heard of). One night we went out to eat at a place called Boatwerks and my friend Emily came along. Boatwerks is cool because it is right on the lake and it is nice to be outside. The food is pretty good and service is just so-so. Since the Chinese aren't really that gung-ho about raw vegetables I was super excited to eat salads again in the U.S. The strawberry-spinach summer salad was awesome with mandarin oranges, feta cheese, roasted pecans and a vinaigrette dressing. YUM.
Next week we're all heading to Pennyslvania for a family reunion based around my great uncle's 100th birthday. I'm super excited to see my sister and brother with his family - I am sure my nieces will have grown so much after a whole year!
There's quite a few more people that I want to see (and their new babies!) - we have a lot to catch up on. I'm also working on catching up on my beach and sun time - always a must in the summer!
I like that white & blue shirt you have on. Very pretty!
No tanning allowed! You will be so ugly back at JSTU! Think of the students and their desire for beautiful white foreigners!!!
