Yesterday, Travis picked me up and we drove to Appleton to meet up with his sister, Katie, and her boyfriend, Pete, and Travis' best friend's mom, Marla, for dinner. Marla is basically Katie and Travis' second mother; they all have a long, goofy history together.
Marla has recently relocated to Peru, but had to come back this past month due to the passing of her mother. Travis and I had helped sort through some of her parents' house (they were sort of hoarders) and Marla gave Travis her old car as she had inherited her mother's basically brand new one. She leaves on Tuesday, and this was sort of a farewell dinner.
We went to an Indian restaurant called Sai Ram in Appleton, where Katie and Pete live. It was very good food, and I think all of us went home weighing 10 pounds more than when we had come in. After we ate, we had a bit of a photo op (I had brought my camera, figuring Marla would like some pictures of her with Travis and Katie to have with her in Peru,) and the ensuing 15 minutes were full of laughter and tears.
