Tonight Doug and I left for Bloomington. We had decided earlier in the summer that we would go down this weekend. We had a couple of items to bring back including Parce's microwave. We also wanted to see a musical put on by IU's summer theater program. We had invited the Heinisch children, but they opted to stay home.
It didn't take me all day to pack since we were staying at Brett's. Therefore, I had time to spend with Cam, Meg and Cal. The younger two had piano, which we went to right after lunch. Meg had plans with a friend from Bethany afterward, so Cam asked if he could get $1 crab cakes at Long John Silver's for lunch. He hasn't been able to eat a lot with his new braces, but these went down easy. Cal picked on him the rest of the day for eating there, but Cam really liked it. I know that I did when I was his age as well. Cal had a fire going when we got home. He had finished taking the rest of the boards off of the pier and wanted to get rid of them. Cam used the opportunity to burn his least favorite piece of luggage. I had promised him when we bought a new carryon he could get rid of the one with a missing wheel that he always got stuck pulling through the airport. He threw it on top of Cal's fire and it was gone in an instant. We were floored with how fast it burned. Meg joined the party by burning her precalculus book too.
Doug arrived at the tail end of Cal's bonfire. He was able to see everyone for a brief time before we packed the Pilot for our road trip. The drive down was an easy one as traffic was light. It was nice to see that they had made progress on the I-69/37 project. Once in Bloomington we first stopped at Cal's old house to pick up Mom's Bissell that he left a couple of weeks ago. We were all glad to know this was our last stop there. Next, we unpacked at Brett's and then walked to Mother Bear's. There was no one on campus as summer school ended today. Thus, we had no problem getting in. It was a fun evening in Bloomington. I was glad that we were able to make the trip.
