Father's Day was made even more special this year because we got to have brunch with Aunt Ruth! She was in town to visit Uncle Dan (who is doing much better, thank goodness, and I predict he'll be out of rehab before the month is out) and graciously agreed to join us for a Father's Day buffet brunch at a tavern near our house that just happens to have a great brunch -- Drew and I discovered it on the last day of Hebrew school for Rachel, but we plan to go there more often once Hebrew school starts up again in the fall.
We had a long talk about the major film festival Ruth pulled off; about my job and my foot issues; about her friends and family; and about family stuff. Finally poor Rachel said meekly, "I am SO HOT." We had been sitting outside in the shade but it was still quite warm, and so we all decided to go back to the air-conditioned house while Drew zipped out to Trader Joe's for my weekly lunch salads. Rachel immediately went upstairs to read and I propped my foot up and stretched it out on the couch while Ruth and I talked. She left around the time Drew and Rachel took off to buy her a new bathing suit (she really needs one, and they took my suggestion to buy two suits) and I headed in to work. What a lovely day, and how wonderful it was to get to spend a relaxing morning with Ruth!
