It was a celebration at noon today, the celebration of a birthday for both Andrew and Christina. As we were not with them for their birthday's in April, we celebrated together today. Kate, Mary Frances and Molly along with Christina and Andrew and Ken and I ate lunch at the Tokyo Restaurant, where we stuffed ourselves with excellent Japanese food. All the girls loved the food, including Molly who is eighteen months old. On the way home we stopped for frozen custard at a place called Bops, a local carryout spot much loved by Jackson folks. Our stomachs were so full that we were not hungry until eight o'clock for a bit of a snack before bedtime. It was a lovely festive occasion, enjoyed by all.
After lunch Ken and I went looking at neighborhoods and popped into an open house or two. It was fun. Kate and Mary Frances and I swam at Linda's pool the rest of the afternoon, although Linda was not there. The late afternoon was the perfect time for swimming, with the air warm but the sun filtered by the trees so as not to be too hot. Andrew and a friend dropped us off at Linda's house, while he and a friend Jim went for a paddle on a lake, Jim in the poke boat and Andrew in the kayak. Christina and Molly came over to swim after Molly woke up from her nap, and before we realized the time, it was almost seven o'clock. A glass of wine with Jim and soon the evening was gone. It was a happy day for everyone. Tomorrow we go shopping for the birthday shopping trip for Kate, who stated today the she will 'shop till she drops'.
