Several errands in the morning, and then guests for dinner.
Carl was the primary cook, stuffed peppers. They were quite good, although the two younger guests were not huge fans. They did like the garlic bread we had, and grapes, and some chicken nuggets their parents had brought. We needed to be gluten free and found a gluten free bakery. The bread was delicious. I would go back.
We met this family at a Mariner game a few years ago. One of the kids is baseball smitten, both playing and following the Ms. And he likes bobbleheads. Carl has bequeathed him with a few given out a games he didn’t attend. As part of paring down items in our house Carl gathered a few for them to consider. Taking as many as they pleased.
I should have taken an after picture, but did not think of it. Perhaps tomorrow. They took enough to fill a few copy paper size boxes – which is wonderful for us. Our next victim is a co-worker’s son. I will send him pictures of what is available to choose. Then the remainder will be distributed at Mariner games. For these we do have an exit strategy.
The kids had a reasonably good time, played with Carl for a bit in the backyard with his (Carl’s) new World Cup soccer ball, and beat on each other for a while. Sibling beating, nothing too serious, although I could see it ramping up as the evening continued. They are probably 4th and 6th grade, and have energy to expend.
I also ran them through the garage giveaway and lightened the load by a few items.
All for now. A late night and dishes to contend with in the morning.
