A pleasant day in Roswell

We were both up before the alarm wakened us. We showered, finished packing and were on the road by 7. We drove to Franklin before stopping for a light breakfast at McDonalds. I drove on while Evelyn slept. I got drowsy toward the end of the trip but stopped enough that I got refreshed. The 15 yearly weds were very well organized with messages and clear directions as to how things should go. They left shortly after 11 and the kids just played games. We had a lunch of leftovers around noon, and then Peter and I watched a bit of the Indy 500 while Evelyn read on the porch. Peter soon left and I dozed through some of it alone. Olivia came down and rode her bike to the swimming pool. Peter had been invited over to a friend’s house and left us. Olivia called from the pool and said she would make dinner when she got home. We didn’t even know she could cook, but she did a very good job. She cooked pasta and then made an alfredo sauce almost by herself. I shredded parmesan cheese, and Evelyn helped her blend the ingredients. Olivia had found a recipe on the computer and followed it well. She also cut and baked some Italian bread. We really enjoyed our meal with her. We went back to the TV area while Olivia played some building game on the computer. We gave up at 9:30 and went to bed. Peter had come home around 8:30 without fanfare. Tom and Stacy called to tell us they had arrived. We have to get up early tomorrow too in order to give Olivia her medicine. This time, however, we get to return to bed.
