When I woke up (very early), I saw that Johnny had texted a photo of a fish that Mollie had caught that night before. I teleworked again (from Katie’s house) - Mollie visited me a few times (and even brought food to me) before I finished the series of meetings I had (through 1130). When I had time, we talked about her fishing experience and discussed other plans we had for later in the week. I took a break from working and Katie and John took us kayaking on the North River (in Marshfield) during the lunch hour. With two cars (one staged at each end), five kayaks and knowledge of the tide tables, we were able to enjoy a relaxing ride towards the ocean. Saw plenty of seabirds, fancy moored boats and elite waterfront homes. Mollie and I made sure to use a lot of sunblock! Mollie had a great time paddling and hanging out with Johnny and her aunt/uncle. After we were done, we ate a late lunch at the Marina (Erich's Crab Shack) - Mollie really liked her haddock sandwich! Because I had a free Fribble coming to me, Mollie, Johnnie and I stopped at Friendly’s (in Pembroke) on the way back to Katie's (1455). I got ice cream for Mollie and Johnny and (accidentally) got a second free Fribble because I accidentally grabbed the wrong one). Back at Katie's, I teleworked for a few more hours while Mollie visited with the family. At 1645, Mollie and I drove down to Plymouth to see my cousin, Gerard. We ended up sitting with him on his deck from 1730 to 2045, talking and sharing family memories. Gerard gave us old family photos, presents from Christmas 2019 (we’d never been able to come that year) and things to bring to Katie's family. I’m quite certain that Mollie really enjoyed the visit. We headed back to Katie’s and, since Johnny was fishing and Katie/John were still in a Bible Study, we went walking in the neighborhood. We saw a strange red moon (I found something on the internet later that showed it was due to forest fires out west). After getting our steps, we headed back to Katie's house and John grilled a late dinner for Mollie. We later watched some comedy sketches (Katie's favorites) on TV before I went to bed (2230). What a day!
