Summer went out to gather some additional supplies while I got ready, and we eventually made it to the pavilion at Old Post Park around one. I brought my PA speakers and amp, but forgot the hotspot at home, and my phone on Google Fi didn&#8217;t have good enough service to work. My parents made noise about picking up some ice, so I went home to get the hotspot, then ran to the Neighborhood Market for a bag of ice, and made it back to the party just as everyone was eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got the music going and made a plate, and then just sat at the table for the rest of the afternoon. Eli&#8217;s father came and sat across from me after things slowed down, and talked at length about being happy and trusting God to take care of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We eventually got everything loaded back up and went home. I took Muad&#8217;Dib out for a run and the basin was flooded, so we piddled around for a while. We saw Dad, and made it home after avoiding another old lady and her dog that were in our way. Summer had to go to work for a team meeting, so I was on my own for the entire evening. Eaddie brought Eli over at some point, but they kept themselves occupied while I did some laundry. Then it was off to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Celebrate good times.
