the great weekend

As I mentioned in my previous post, I went to the tiny town of Demotte, Indiana, for some Midwestern fun with Katie (my SLP program buddy) and her awesome family.

We ate a lot of yummy food. And I learned about sassafras trees. Also, I learned that the Midwest makes up for its great lack of hills by having an abundance of good people: welcoming, generous, church-going, animal-loving, hard-working, family-oriented, steaks-on-the-grill people.

We did a lot of sitting around this:And I watched the sunset across the cornfield and behind the trees. And it was peaceful.

When I came home, there was a clean sink, a package of peanut M&M's, and 2 bright yellow daffodils waiting for me. Guess he missed me :)
