Connie knocked on the door to mirror me knocking on her door Sunday. We said goodbye. She said she remember her aunt Dwana only barely as a little girl since she was probably in like Arizona or something as her mom Jean married George Colbert, she lived there with her brother Bill. Mom shared like two songs with Connie and Gary before they left. After that, I was on Ancestry while eating breakfast around like 9 AM while mom was packing and eating. The owner lady was understanding even as we were possibly checking out late beyond the time limit, we were out around 11:30 AM to mirror when we left Friday for this reunion trip. We argued over how to deal with her brain mostly. I missed a turn but was able to turn around within a second. As I was turning around to get back on the route home, mom thought I was doing what she was thinking. She was talking to me about the three reunions we had in 2000, 2003, and 2006. We had them at this location in Long Beach. Mom even pointed at the go-carts where we raced in 2000 like Mario Kart. My point was I wanted her to just be more direct in telling me what she wanted. But she was thinking out loud like I do in my live stream videos on YouTube and TikTok and in my blogs and everything. She wanted me to give her feedback first. The problem with this is I do not know enough to be able to make fast enough decisions as I know very little about Long Beach, WA. Mom wanted to know mostly how far away was the camp grounds where we stayed during those earlier reunions and how far away the beach was as well. I could not say much as I did not know. I tried to get mom to tell me what to do. Instead of saying let's go look at the beach, she said let's continue driving home. But at the same time, she was also telling me she was disappointed we could not go to the beach. Yet, we could have but she chose not to. It almost felt like she was blaming me for it even if she was wasn't. We eventually stopped at a 76 gas station for a restroom break, mom bought coconut water, this was in like South Bend or something around like 1 PM. We eventually made it to the casino to fill up like 3.6 gallons of gas for like $18 or so. It took a while as many were waiting in line there for gas, I eventually got in behind a young blond slender woman in a low car. Home around 02:05 PM. Took plants out of the kitchen to the outside. Fed the rabbit something green. Watered plants in the two cement rectangle pots around the firewood and then behind the book shed. Picked tomatoes, green pole beans, and purple beans too. Hot sunny day. Mail. Unpacking until like 04:30 PM. Lunch: 04:30 PM. Continued doing stuff. Getting back to the grind of normal life now that we are back. Nap. Computer stuff. Picked raspberries and blackberries. Dinner: 08:30 PM. Dishes. Computer. Ancestry. Food log: Breakfast: coffee, orange, 2 boiled eggs, Arizona lemon tea, 09:00 AM. Lunch: beans chicken etc soup, 04:30 PM. Brownies cake. Dinner: potatoes, 08:30 PM. More Arizona tea.
