If you thought Shane and I drove enough over break, you'd be wrong. Carrie wanted to do a drive-by hello to Genevieve and Chris!
It'd been over a year since we'd seen them in person (Thanks, COVID.). Both of their jobs have them around enough people they didn't feel comfortable socializing much.
They agreed to a back porch, socially-distanced pow-wow!
Gifts were exchanged!
There's were much more photogenic than ours.
Shane and Chris played some whiffle ball and we hung out for a little bit.
We had one other brief visit with John. We met at Silverbrook elementary. We've played on their playground before, but it was under construction this time.
This is the only picture I got, surprisingly. Carrie and Shane went to play on the kiddie lot some while John and I talked.
He hasn't been doing well, so I was glad he even agreed to meet in person. I was a bit alarmed when he started giving me all of the Battletech stuff and said he'd thrown away his models collection. He went on about how he's building a new computer and he's not getting rid of everything afterward. I'm looking forward to when vaccines are out and people are more willing to meet in person.
It was a shorter visit than I would've liked, but John was clearly freezing. I'm used to the cold from horse chores...and speaking of which, we needed to head home to do them.
By the way, Shane was right. You can see through the neck gaiter masks.
It was a fast food day. Popeye's was lunch and Arby's was dinner. I couldn't remember the last time I "ate out!"
The driving ate up a chunk of the day, but it was good to physically see some people. I guess this was Christmas 2.5.
Third Christmas...well, that's still a few days away. We have one more road trip before our holiday traveling is over.
