I cleaned out the closet in the dining room and among the boxes if my Black GI Joe doll. Mother saved the box and uniform.
Homer and Jeff.
I drove north to spend the weekend with my buddies. We had Ethiopian food Friday night and were somewhat horrified by the presence of a cockroach on the table.
Saturday morning we took Chopper to the dog park and he ran around excitedly for a while.
My brother had the blonde one, which I also have.
Jeff was in town from Flagstaff and we went to a Greek restaurant and spent a couple of hours discussing the ups and downs of contract archaeology. It was nice to catch up. We have been friends since 2005.

In the afternoon I demanded we go to an antique mall and I found a couple of photographs with names on them to research and return to descendants.
Flamer.
It is an enormous antique mall with mostly junk. I did see a painting I admired a lot, but I am not spending extra money if I can avoid it.
Moo.
We left the antique mall and traveled to a Kroger's store and I bought nacho ingredients and I made nachos and salsa and guacamole. Craig chopped things. It was tasty. We later made plastic bead mosaics and watched Gilmore Girls and I yelled at the dumb characters.
That night I admired the dragon fruit blooming in the backyard. I had never seen one before.

This morning I attended a double wedding ceremony. It was really informal and lovely and I had a really nice time. I was glad I had brought extra tissues since Drew and Adam needed them.
The couples.
It was on the roof of an apartment building with nice views and high enough fences so I did not freak out (I hate heights).
Robert and Ray.
Jeff and Chuck.
I told Adam to pose against the 1960s inspired wallpaper.
Afterward we had lunch at a New Orleans-themed restaurant and I had a fried green tomato po' boy sandwich. The French fries were super crispy and good.
Jeff and Chuck's first drink as a married couple.
Such a nice weekend. I had a lovely time.
