This was a "full" meeting, with me, husband, both daughters, and a visit by Joi, who was not feeling well and spent most of the day upstairs.

It was hot. We pondered iced tea instead of hot tea, but several of us don't like iced tea. We decided to opt for hot tea anyway and would just wait for it to cool. So we had Allison Hargreeves tea, and I really enjoyed it. (Huh. Did not know it was a white tea. Apparently I really like those and should get more of them.) Did not know, at the time, that it was pitched as "hot or iced."

We chatted about Umbrella Academy; apparently there is at least one season I haven't seen. Also talked about food planning for next time/future visits - KtE thinks she can maybe make rice balls so we'll have something more substantial than cut-up fruit and cheese and maybe crackers. (We had yellow watermelon this time, which is terrific and also sets off weird cognitive dissonance, because every time I look into the bowl I think "pineapple" and the flavor is very very not pineapple.)

The visit was cut short a bit - the sun shifted and our chairs were in the sun, and it was too hot to stick around after that. We moved to next to the house in the shade, but it's more crowded there. So we said our goodbyes and went home.
