At a certain point in his life, my Dad began to use the word “Visit” a lot more often than before. It wasn’t about entertainment or an activity, it was about spending time in conversation and catching up with friends and family. As for Heidi and myself, Sophie is away at college, Rae is living on her own, and Lawyer and Kiley are newlyweds living in Indy. And of course, Grandma, who started the whole thing is living in Seymour.
Lawyer wanted to bring his new wife, Kiley, somewhere they can’t go at home near Indianapolis. She had a breaded tenderloin with cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo.
I had the pepper jack and cheddar cheese balls with Ranch dip.
Lawyer’s bacon cheeseburger with onion rings was more than enough.
Heidi, Sophie, Billie (Grandma), Rae, Lawyer, Kiley and myself sat long after the food was gone and the bill was paid. No hurry. Just enjoying “The Visit.”
Not to mention, they have beer. 🍺
