Saturday, I spent the day with Dan and June. I always try to take some food with me for them to have, and I'd spent Thursday and Friday nights after work cooking. They are always very appreciative of that, and they seem to enjoy the food. And since they're almost 2 hours away, it makes me feel like I am contributing to their well-being. And it's an excuse to cook, which you all know I love. I packed up the cooler early Saturday morning and hit the road.
They live in Angier, NC in Harnett County. It's a very nice drive because it does not involve the interstate which I am thankful for. I'm sure I could take the interstate to get there but luckily, I have always taken highways and back roads. Traffic was not bad at all and the temperature was still cool. That is a plus because I don't have A/C in my car anymore. Fun times!
The thing I really love about visiting them besides the obvious of spending time with them, is that the visits are so easy. Getting together with Fornes family is always a relaxed atmosphere. We just sit around and talk. And when we don't have anything to say, we just sit around and it's enough. Dad and I went to a Chinese buffet for lunch then came home and took naps. It's how we roll. We spent time updating each other about people in our lives. Stories are always told. Often, there are stories that have been told before but I'd rather hear them than not. June will pull out pictures she thinks I would like to see and recipes she knows I'll want to look at. And it's just a nice time. It was good to catch up with them, and I look forward to another visit soon. That was my fun for the week!
