our last night with Huckleberry consisted of kevin consuming a Zombie at the Mirador where we ate awesome burgers, having some more wine, and yummy nuts while watching a movie, and then refusing to put on his pajamas. as seen in the photo.
we made it to Belgium! they have little buses. that's our new friend Wim. Kathy is behind the camera. we'll be staying with them until the 11th. and we like them already.
the 1.5% beer that Wim used to cook dinner.
it tasted like root beer.
sort of.
dinner.beef.
zucchini.
mushrooms.
barley.
and fresh fresh basil. from the plant. on their balcony. from Wim's parents. on their farm. 1.5 hours away. in Belgium.
tomorrow we'll going to cook for them. kevin will probably do most of the work. but i'll stand there and look pretty. and i'll force him to buy ice cream for dessert.
we're also planning on finding all the peeing statues that Brussels has to offer. well, all the important ones anyway.
kevin thinks i should have written 'anyways' instead of 'anyway'. he also thinks i should have said 'wrote' instead of written. grammar police? anyone? spelling bee winners? rachel? char? which is it? WHICH IS IT???
goodnight. . . maybe we'll have waffles in the morning.

I vote for 'anyway' and 'written' -but then again, she is my daughter :)and I taught her everything she knows - well, lots anyway (or would that be anyways)
write
wrote
have WRITTEN
And according to Merriam-Webster, anyway is correct. Anyways is "chiefly dialect."
Wow, blood relatives--good job with the grammar! You didn't even have to study it during the summer! Kevin, let's schedule some tutoring sessions, shall we?
p.s. I better get my own invite to the FESTIVAL.
p.p.s. Are there Oreos in Belgium?
i am going to blame my rather pathetic high school...
but i still like anyways...it is so much more...how shall i say...unique
It is "anyway" and "written". Anyways isn't the end of the world. I am partial to "irregardless," which is also wrong.
Ugh, of COURSE you're right, Amanda. Anyway and written. Why would Donna Barnes ever teach us anything incorrectly?
It's hard to believe she's an AP English teacher when you read those alumni newsletters.
I need my red sunglasses, and you.
