Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.

The fevered ramblings of today's previous entry were right on target, in that they described perfectly the anticipatory angst that precedes any event that includes both my sister and my elder daughter.

What I can never seem to remember, ahead of time, is that once begun, these events are always delightful, pleasant, and conflict-free. Today's was no different. The two of them sat next to each other in the booth at the restaurant and enjoyed each other's company immensely. K sat on the other side of the booth between her two cousins, the Sibs between R and me. A good time was had by all.

I have to put an 8.5 x 11 post-it on my desk NOW to remind me on Thanksgiving NOT to spend my day cooking and freaking out, like I did last year, because once we get to the Sibs' house we will have a wonderful time.

Sometimes I think I am so evolved. Other times, not so much.
