Up for the bathroom due to drinking so much tea late at night around three times and I probably was even dreaming about it. Up at 9 AM. Out the door diriving the car around 11:30 AM. Stopped at the usual spot for the restrooms at a gas station like some or all of the four previous trips that direction in 2025 to Oregon or the coast. We were the first to arrive to the cottages around 2 PM. We unpacked. I said hi to the maintenance guy who is part manager or owner with his wife. Took a shower. Said hello to Michael Pickett and his wife, Karen Williams, her husband Phil, Connie, her husband Gary, they are from Arizona like her mom Jean. Jean is my mom's mom's sister. I showed them my four brand new photo albums that I brought with us, Michael thought it was good, they looked through some of it. Karen forgot for a second waht Jim looked like thinking it might be Dwight or something. We walked to the beach. Connie spotted jelly fish wondering if the smaller ones might be more poisonous. Also said hi to Garrick and his wife Sherry who made it to the beach. Karen joked about me getting lost, that I don't do that no more, I told her the story of getting lost at Hagg Lake in 1993 a week after a reunion we had there around like June 1993. TOday, we told them about our rabbit. Gary plays organ. They talked fish. I went ahead to make sure we could find a way back to the cabins, feels like camp, I waited to make sure mom made it back from the beach, mom told Michael she didn't do a lot in the 2000 reunion as it was a lot of walking. Mom is resting around 06:10 PM. I took a few videos and photos today of them. We talked and stuff at the outside kitchen area. I told Alice and Michael and Gary about my life in Vietnam. Alice taught in English in China in the 1980s. Lunch: 3 PM. People played corn hole. Dinner: 07:00 PM. We talked until like 9 PM or 10 PM. After that, I spent hours moving things around and stuff in our cottage. I got out the hide a bed in the bed. People imitating people videos on YouTube. Food log: Breakfast: orange, coffee, 09:45 AM. Lunch: beans chicken carrot soup, 3 PM. Dinner: fish, salad, rice, chips with spicy salsa dip from Ted, cracker with dip, pie, cake, 07:00 PM. Probably more happened as usual. But I feel exhausted and stuff, I am not sure if I can write it all down right now or ever. But as usual, I want to rant for horus about everything and then some. But too much to say. Too little time.
