My sister Sue and I don't get to spend time just fooling around together anymore -- it is usually to run errands or do money-related things that have to be done. It feels like it has been a long, long time since we just goofed off and had silly fun. On Monday we made a date to get together tonight with no phones or interruptions...it was great! And Abby came, too!

| Sue and Abby arrived! |

| I'm glad we figured out how to include Abby. |
 |
| First we all piled into my car and went to our vet's office to pick up some dog/cat magazines they saved for me, then we went to the Northville Art House and Sue chose a painting from the current show (that closes tomorrow) -- it is a painting of a dog that looks quite a bit like Abby. (I didn't have my camera with me.) We visited with Joan a little and then went to the drive-thru pharmacy and then we came back to my house and watched three episodes of Adventure Time -- Sue had never seen it before. Then we ordered/picked up a pizza from The Starting Gate and went to Hiller's on the way home to get a little cherry pie for dessert. |
 |
| After dinner it was GAMES time! We only pulled out four games and we rolled a die to choose the games to play. We ended up not playing Battleship or Sorry. |
 |
| The first roll got us Yahtzee -- we play three games/lines at a time...if it hadn't been for my two Yahtzees, Sue would have won...she usually does. |
 |
| The next roll got us a game of our favorite game -- Can't Stop. (I won.) |
 |
| The third roll of the die got us a second game of Can't Stop. Sue nearly skunked me on this one...I only got ONE column! GOOD GAME!!! |
 |
| Then we took some time out for dessert and after that we tried our hand(s) at a watercolor project. |
 |
| We blew drops of watercolor with straws to make abstract paintings and then we looked for images in them. |
 |
| I found a sort of Ibizan Hound with colorful spots and googly chameleon eyes. We decided his eyes went googly from trying to choose a color to mimic. |
 |
| Sue decided not to outline what she was seeing. After a few minutes Sue was seeing so many images she couldn't decide which one she preferred -- she is taking her painting home to see if Pepper sees anything she found. Man we had such a fun time with these paintings! |
 |
| What a great night -- so much laughing and talking and playing and creating and good food and wonderful company. |
