Got the day off work, so I slept late did stuff.
First thing today was a Family Service Day at Nevins Farm, for parents with their elementary school age kids. I helped supervise them in support services (dishwashing and laundry). Which I'd never done myself, being a barn volunteer, but a Hobart dishwasher is pretty much the same the world over. Then they got to hear all about guinea pigs, and got to make their own guinea pigs out of potatoes, yarn, pompoms, craft sticks, and the like. Finally, I helped 5 families muck stalls. It was okay, but I probably won't do it again.
Then over to the Dream Diner in Tyngsborough for lunch with the old Wind River crowd. Great to see
frobzwiththingz, Bruce, and Mike, but
marktheorc won the local-news contest hands down with his lymphoma. (His first round of chemo put him to sleep, and he woke up ravenously hungry. Now it just gives him hiccups. 19 CON.) Oh, and can I mention that Pastrami Benedict is every bit as good as it sounds. And PPS, I'm *so* glad I'm not making that drive every day anymore.
