today

the philosopher and I joined 13 other people at the lake for a birthday in honor of L's grandmother and myself. Sylvia turned 83 on the sixth and I turned 22. We got off to a late start on a rather cool and cloudy day but had a good time all in all. The philosopher and I got schooled at pickleball, hung out the the grandparents, chatted with aunts and uncles and cousins and friends, sat out on the dock, and feasted on (garden)burgers. I also received a pretty awesome cadeau! I'll admit it looks a little bit like a fisher price toy in person but I can't wait to start taking it out to play!
