Wrapping Up High School Reunion and Mary’s Birthday Dinner with Nana

Today I woke up feeling fine, which was unexpected given how ill I felt as I went to bed. I was happy to feel well enough to attended the last part of my high school reunion (that I went to) which was a hike to St. Mary’s Lake starting from Brighton Ski resort.

The weather and trail were beautiful and it was so fun to go a little deeper with my friends on learning about what they’ve been up to. One of my friends, Genevieve, played a huge role in the testing and vaccine roll-out in Durham North Caroline and it was really interesting to learn all about that. I also told Charlie all about the crisis happening with the Great Salt Lake.

I dropped some people off and then headed home for Mary’s birthday dinner with Nana! Mary and Lily made chocolate cake which we froze and will eat another day. Dinner was a delicious souffle Lily made along with watermelon and a salad with our garden tomatoes. While preparing dinner, it was cute to see the kids interacting with and playing with Georgia.

After dinner, Mary opened up here presents from Georgia which you can see below.

After I dropped of Georgia, I came home for a bit to help put kids down and then I went to visit Nick at work who recently got an eviction notice and is going through a tremendously dark period right now. Lily and I also stayed up late working through some things.
