T Stands for Play Day, All Day

 One day last week, I ran away from home to my friend, Teague's house. Next to Himself, Teague is my oldest friend, and the one who got me addicted  interested in genealogy. The last time I saw her was in early July. At one time when my girlies were small, Teague came over once a week. Now we're lucky if we see each other every few months or because of the pandemic in a year.

Anyway, we spent the morning catching up and then decided to head out to lunch. There were intermittent showers, but it wasn't a washout of a day. The sun came out so we decided we'd go to the local Dairy Queen and have lunch. If it started to rain we'd do a buy and fly, but

it actually was nice so we could sit outside at the picnic tables and have our lunch. 

Just as we were finishing up, it got very windy and the umbrella at our table blew away.  I put a chair on it so it wouldn't blow further away. We went in to order some ice cream to take home, and I told one of the staff about the umbrella.

No patrons were in the restaurant so you wonder how an order could be mixed up. Teague ordered a mini cookie dough Blizzard (soft service ice cream with bits of cookie dough in it) and a small cookie dough Blizzard for her husband. I ordered a mini Heath bar (toffee bits) Blizzard. When we got back to the house, there were 3 mini Blizzards. 2 were cookie dough and the other was M & M candies.  Hmmm. Well, M&Ms  and Heath bars are both candies so it was all good.

For the afternoon, I had brought my laptop so we set up in Teague's sunroom and played genealogy. Last week, I had mentioned finding cousins. Teague has a subscription to Newspapers.com so was looking up obituaries so we could find where everyone was buried so we can plan a road trip to go cemetery sighting. 

A few years ago, we were trying to come up with a cool name for going to the cemetery. Cemetery hop, sounded frivolous and maybe disrespectful. Head Stoners, fun, but maybe not. So Cemetery Sighting or Siting.

Teague's husband left to go to a meeting and we were deep down the rabbit hole of genealogy. Late in the afternoon, I had a cup of tea, and Teague also had some delicious apple turnovers. It was well past supper time when I noticed the clock and how late it was. So we shut down for another day.
