S had a great weekend campout with his troop (I was one of the volunteers driving but could not stay - had dogs to take care of back at the house). Picked him up Sunday morning and D came over after church. We hung out for a few hours and went out to dinner at a place we had not been to since the big blowup back in 2002. It brought back some good memories for me and D - and you can't beat good old Southern cooking!
While S was camping, I drove over to visit some friends - and partake in a lemonade stand that their grandkids set up. They had mentioned it on FB so while I was there, a bunch of other people I knew showed up! The grandmother was talking with me and one of her daughters and referred to STBEX as my XW. Surprisingly, I didn't flinch or tried to correct her. I guess another sign that I have reached acceptance...
Also, I got an e-mail (on the joint account that STBEX and I use for kid related stuff) from one of her family members reprinting the WaPo obit on her dad. In the obit, STBEX's siblings were listed (with their spouses in parentheses). For STBEX - nothing. It is what it is...
