Brenda and Harlan's Trip Blog

We woke up around 10 today to have enough time to cook steel-cut oatmeal for Harlan’s Dad, who was expected to be up by 10:30 and ready for breakfast around 11:30. He slept in, however. When we did wake up we started the oatmeal, and while we were told it should only need to cook on the stove for about 30 minutes’ time, after an hour we just gave up and went with it. It certainly has more interesting texture than quick oats, and while Harlan and Brenda definitely preferred it, and Harlan’s Mom said it was good, it was clear that Harlan’s Dad prefers the stuff he’s used to.

We otherwise ran some errands and took care of stuff (scheduled the plumber to come out and check some faucets and stuff, oil change for the car, post office stuff for Brenda, and the rebate for Harlan’s new cell phone). We picked up a snack at the Woodfire Chicken place and headed home.

Oh, the new airbed+pad thing worked out pretty well (certainly much better than the mattress on the sofabed).
