vovatWell, today (although I guess it was technically yesterday at this point), I took ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje and her mom and uncle down to Maryland to attend Beth's cousin Patti's baby's christening. (That sounds kind of convoluted, doesn't it?) Aside from Patti's parents and one of her sisters, we were the only ones from her side of the family who showed up, and Beth's mom and uncle wouldn't have even gone if I hadn't driven. Apparently my in-laws think driving to Cecil County is comparable to driving to Sicily. Anyway, there isn't much to say about the christening itself. We ended up attending the entire church service, and being a spawn of Satan, I feel uncomfortable at such places. No, seriously, I never really minded church that much, except when you're supposed to talk to other people in the congregation. It helped that two pews ahead were two little girls, one of whom was coloring and eating Cheerios with a hair comb, while the other was writing her Christmas list. She's giving Santa an entire half year to prepare, I suppose. Anyway, they had a reception after the service. They had food and stuff, but all I had was lemonade. I took a few pictures, but not very many, and I'll probably just put them up when I have more stuff to upload. Here's a picture of Beth's mom and baby Gabrielle that I didn't take.
After leaving, we ate at the Elmer Diner back in New Jersey, which I thought was pretty good. We were going to go to a place called Richman's where we'd been about ten years previously, but it had apparently closed since then. Man, does nothing last anymore? Mind you, that WAS the only time we went there. About all I remember is that they had a really long dessert menu. And tonight, after a nap, Beth and I watched the rest of the first season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. That's about it, really.
