Busy week and busy weekend. A week ago last Friday Mom Knight flew in for a visit. I left work early so we could go pick her up at Midway airport in Chicago...next time we'll have her go to Indianapolis because the airport is so much easier to get to. The drive from the highway to the airport took almost as long as the drive from Warsaw to the outskirts of Chicago. Anyway, we had a very nice visit. We really didn't do anything special but had some good quality time hanging out. Mom also drove up to Kalamazoo to visit old friends there for a day and extended her visit by a day so she could go to my softball game last Tuesday, which turned out to be as good a game as she could have gone to since I was 3-for-4 with a good show defensively, and my base hit started the late-inning rally that won the game for our team. BTW I've clawed my average back up to 0.500 (16-32). I took Tuesday and Wednesday off, Wednesday so we could drive her back to the airport. I also took last Friday off because it was Beth's and my 10th anniversary. We went on a mini-vacation up to Nappanee. We stayed in a nice B&B for 2 nights but we probably won't stay in Nappanee again because there's not much to do when the antiquey and Amish things get old. We drove up to Mishawaka twice for something to do and a place to eat. We exchanged presents at Olive Garden Friday night. She got a very nice anniversary band, and the people the next table over thought I was asking her to marry me and applauded and congratulated us. Beth got me a nice watch. We looked through campers at a place up there, Elkhart is full of them. We came back today, I spent 4 hours at work catching up, and we had the usual Sunday night movie at our friends' house. Tonight it was "Memento." I think I need to see it again.
