Weekend Update

My parents left about the same time I did this morning, so they are probably out of the state by now and back on their way to their friends' house. They plan to be home some time later this week. Overall the weekend was OK. Highlights:

• In the strange gift tradition they brought a sander (I already had three sanders -- they took one back with them, so I still have three), a ratchet set (I already had one from them that I never use), a whole bunch of 4-function calculators, and a logarithm table in Braille (?????).


• We went to a National Park and an outlet mall.


• We ate at a restaurant that my mom read about in a Patricia Cornwell novel.


• Unlike I predicted, Mom cleaned the kitchen, not the bathroom.
