Independence Weekend

All in all, we’ve had a fun weekend. On Friday, we went with a bunch of people to PJ’s and to see Troy. The movie was mostly random violence interspersed with short sex scenes, so I guess it was probably a fairly accurate account of the story and of the time period.

On Saturday, we went to my parents’ house for a traditional extended-family cookout. Was a bunch of fun and good food.

On Sunday, we went to my parents’ house again after church and had lunch, played Canasta, and retrieved our chairs that my dad has now fixed. In the evening, came over and we played Total Annihilation: Kingdoms for 3½ hours before I gave up. That was also a bunch of fun.

Today, we went over to my paternal grandmother’s to take her to Capen Hill Nature Sanctuary for a picnic and some nature-walking. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate with us, and we ended up just having a picnic on a slightly-damp picnic table that ended just as the rain really started coming down again. We retreated back to her house where we played dominoes. And this evening Ben & Cheri came over for our bible study.

For those who’ve been following it, I’ve posted my first response to my controversial post, and I hope to post more there sometime soon, although work and homework may mean that it’ll be a while.
