Middle Earth Colors
I spent much more time at my computer on this trip than I might have hoped for, but I got a lot of work done. And in spite of all of the time spent working I've enjoyed my visit.
To start it off we stopped at Joe's Crab Shack on the way back from the airport again. My brother loves the whole idea of the place and it turns out my brother-in-law loves crab too. I think it's going to become a tradition to stop and get crabs when I come to town. And yes, Joe's has a store where you can buy paraphernalia extolling the joys of catching crabs (ex "Got Crabs?").
My first full day, and the only day that everybody was off work, we got together at my brother's to BBQ. They have a new puppy and sidewalk chalk, and we couldn't have asked for better weather. Everybody from my immediate family, my nieces and nephew, and some old family friends were there. My brother is excellent at the grill by the way: The steak was perfect (red most of the way through for me), and I don't know how long he grilled the scalloped potatoes for, but I swear I've never had better.
Later in the week, while looking for Halloween costumes, I discovered that I can shop in the kids section. This was lucky considering I found what I needed there. It also amuses me a great deal. Still. I'm not sure why, I just think it's funny and something must be done to take advantage of this newly discovered fact.
Several of us went to a haunted house Tuesday night. The Necropolis in downtown Columbia, MO. I recommend it. So much fun to be scared, not sure why. Rollercoasters, haunted houses, ghost stories, etc. I like them all.
Wednesday we all went trick-or-treating, something I haven't done for too long. Tomorrow we plan to spend some time at the park, and then I leave and return to CA. I'm looking forward to going back to my friends and my life, but it's hard to leave my family and the great weather.
