this evening, i jetted out of work and missed the train by 2 seconds. So i took a cab, caught up with the train and headed down the peninsula. tonight was the scheelbarrow quarterlyish dinner potluck hangout fun time. it was supposed to be a couple months ago, but the scheel's just had a baby (say hi to new cutie mikela!), and first she was sick, and then we were. but tonight, tonight we were all in good health and ready to hang out.
we were also ready to eat. which, was a really good thing, because there was some frigging great carnitas, homefried tortilla chips, beans, rice, and delicious guac. after a short digestion period we then topped it all off with tres leches cake topped with whipped cream and strawberries.
like i said, it was a good thing that we were ready to eat.
the scheelbarrows are old pals of ours (randall thinks he's known dave for 13 years and eric for at least 8), and the relationships sort of feel familiar (as in family, but more like cousins you don't see that often). you know, just this sort of comfortable whatever feeling.
and while we've been hanging out for a while, it's been particularly interesting to see how our lives are changing as we get older. the parents now out-number the non-parents (translation: randall and i are now the only ones who aren't willing to grow up), but it doesn't matter. we're all in this journey together.
