Later Sunday morning Mia, Tom, and I all went to Church. Mia was serving at the altar again, so I was left to take care of Tom in the pew. This has happened before, and Tom seems to be getting used to it. He was quite well behaved this time, and people noticed.

I stayed with colgaffneyis for a couple hours after the Kirkin’ on Sunday. Did some dancing, and talked with patrons. I had to leave a little before 3PM to pick up Tom from Respite. Mia did the drop-off on Friday, so it was my job to do the pick up. Mia and James stayed at Ramble.
Tom was at Camp Friendship, up near St. Cloud–hence my early departure from Ramble. The trip worked out OK. Tom had had a good weekend and was quite cheerful. The drive back was quite straightforward. I stopped at a Burger King to get him a hamburger and fries. Since McDonalds’ fries are not longer gluten free the golden arches are no longer an option for him. Rather to my surprise, Mia and James were already home when we got there about 6 PM.
Mia took Tom up to the Respite camp on Friday night. This time Respite was at Camp Friendship, near St. Cloud, and about a three hour round trip drive. We had an opportunity at a much closer site, but we thought Camp Friendship would be more interesting for Tom.
Saturday we went to Ramble, getting there a little before the official opening at 10 AM. Continue reading
Saturday got off to a relaxed start, as always when Tom is away. We watched The Woodwright’s Shop in the morning. Continue reading

…the party. It was great, but unlike mia_mcdavid, I could not go the distance–the day had been too long for me. I went to bed about 1 AM. I got up about 10 AM, and started on the after-party clean up. Off and on, it took most of the day. However, we had all the essentials done before 2 PM, and were able to have a nap before retrieving Tom from the Respite House. He had had a good time there–one of his better aides had been on duty over the weekend. However, he was very glad to see us. He has had dinner and is playing a video game now. We are back to a Sunday night routine.
