Dad said that Ron said there was leftover orange juice and milk in the camp fridge. Most of the time the food extras are good. Sometimes in the summer they have an abundance of scrambled eggs or several Ziplock bags of egg casserole they send home with us. Especially in the summer when we are eating down there, the eggs do not end up getting eaten and it gets to the point where no one really wants any more eggs.

But orange juice and milk we will definitely take. I was eating supper after getting home from internship when the muffled sound of the boys talking to me with thoughts and ideas turned into us getting into the van to drive down there. My son with the drivers permit drove. I can tell a big difference since he’s started with the driving every day after school. We are always afraid of hitting cats but they so far seem to know to move.

My son parked and the younger boys went into the kitchen. I said to make sure he had it in park so that he didn’t accidently run over anyone when they came back out. He said it already was in park which was good. There was a song he thought I’d like that he wanted to look up and play from my phone. It was Lullaby by Lord Huron, a band we both like. All of my sons have different temperaments, it completely fascinates me.

We drove back. I didn’t get a long enough chance to listen to the song to see if I liked it. I’ve told the boys that the songs by this group are basically all about the same person. One of the writers fell in love with a woman and almost every song he writes now has something to do with her. They thought I read that information in an interview somewhere, but I said no, you just have to listen. They’re all about the same person.

I was eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Dad and Elianna had left around the same time to find her some ice cream. The gas station didn’t have any so they continued on to Country Market. They were taking too long and I thought perhaps there’d been a crash. Dad didn’t answer but they were home not long after. He said, “You weren’t wanting me to get you food were you?” I said, no, you were just taking too long.
