Finally home again, and with just Hubby. Our nephew slept over last night, and after breakfast we all went to a nearby swim hole. Then we returned home to freshen up, and then out again to a nice Greek restaurant in the downtown. The food there was delicious. I had a wonderful moussaka. I ate the whole giant piece because I was starving, as the lunch didn't happen until after 2 pm. While there, a violent thunder and lightening storm came through. We were stuck waiting in the restaurant for it to pass. Then our nephew went to see a friend, so we came home. As I type, I'm on the sofa with my alpaca blanket on. Feeeeeeeeels good! I do wish the restaurant had had baklava, but they didn't.

On Wednesday, we had planned to drive to my s-i-l's house close to Prague. There will be a rock and roll private party nearby, with an old Czech rock and roll star playing (a neighbor). Also, Hubby's other sister and brother-in-law are supposed to come from Germany. THAT we're not looking forward to, sadly. Originally we heard that they wanted to come to visit our house, but we managed to put a nix to that. Instead, my Czech s-i-l is planning a lunch or dinner party for Thursday near her home. We thought that would be the lesser of evils, but I confess I'm thinking of backing out. It's painful enough to have to see that German-based s-i-l and her husband, but we learned that even their adult daughter is supposed to come. It's just too much! They are toxic people, and I'm just not up to dealing with it. Hubby said he'll go by himself. I feel a little bad, but not bad enough. If I'm home alone for a couple days, I'll be sure to have a nice time. I'll eat everything Hubby never will. Will watch what I want on TV. Hubby feels pressured to go mostly because his sister told everyone he was coming. They'll all be speaking just Czech. The only question they'll ask me is "So, how is your Czech coming?" And now that we saw our nephew at our house yesterday and today, there's no incentive for me to go. That nephew was sort of the only reason I originally wanted to.
