Weekending
I had dinner with my groupies at Elvira’s on Friday night. I was late so Deb ordered my house red and a plate of ravioli for me. Yum! On Saturday I was up early enough to get some laundry done before Brendan arrived. Time to change to the flannel sheets. Jim Brown helped us work on a room in the barn that Brendan is insulating and varmint-proofing so that he can store things there. I think there will be room enough so that I can get some things out of the basement as well. Brendan also helped me put up two of my new Levelor shades. This will be great for keeping things cool in the summer and warmer in the winter. He fixed omelettes for us and then we watched Syriana.The next morning we went to church at the Newman Center at UK with Deb and then to Alfalfa’s for brunch for Deb’s Birthday (Blackberry/walnut pancakes–mmmmm). It was a dreary, rainy day so we gave up on car shopping, and Brendan headed back to Louisville. Caitlan called later to tell me that she safely arrived in Louisville. YAY! I headed down to the Valley with a stop-off to see John and Dana and drop off some Joe-boxes on the way. Mombo and I tried to watch TIN MAN on the Sci-Fi channel. It was great to get a call from Hilo and talk to Ian for a while. Spending time with my kids–whether in person, on-line, or on the phone–it’s a joy.
