Dinner With a Relative From Way Out of Town

Tonight, Alice and I had dinner with our Aunt Keiko from California. She flew out to stay a few days with my mother- and father-in-law before joining Uncle Carl in Europe. We treated her to dinner and she gave us a nice box of chocolates.

I never expected to have an Auntie from Japan. Life continues to surprise me. That, too, is also a surprise. Or perhaps this is all early on-set dementia, which wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Leave a reply, but please be fancy.
