1. I went into the cocoon of the Vizio room today and relaxed, stayed cool, napped off and on, and accomplished very little.
2. I roused myself late in the afternoon, got cleaned up, and made a quick trip to Yoke's to pick up a couple bottles of wine for tonight's family dinner.
The dinner was a relaxing get together with superb food. Carol made a creamy pesto dip and brought homemade bread for an appetizer. Debbie brought a bowl of the green tomato pickles she recently made. Christy fixed a really delicious ham and served it with cheesy scalloped potatoes. Debbie made a crisp, smartly dressed green salad. I had been concerned right up until dinner time that it be too hot outside to enjoy eating in Christy and Everett's back yard, but I didn't need to be worried. We arrived at around 6:00 and already the cooler North Idaho air was taking over and it was, to my relief, very comfortable.
I was thinking how wonderful this dinner was and suddenly Paul slipped into the she shed and brought out a chocolate zucchini cake that Carol had baked, not just for dinner, but to celebrate Christy and Everett's 23rd wedding anniversary. The cake was perfect, a great way to top off our meal.
3. Back home, Debbie and I fell into conversation again about All the President's Men. Suddenly, Debbie said, "Will you put it on again?" I didn't need any persuading! The movie got underway and we commented occasionally on aspects of its making we admired, including the minimalist music soundtrack. I don't think either of us thought we'd make it to the end -- and we didn't. Who knows? Maybe we'll finish watching it on Monday. Honestly, we just cannot seem to watch it enough!
Here's a limerick by Stu:
The world's goin' to heck people say.
The worst ever in history's today!
C'mon give it a rest,
Today might not be the best.
But there's no Aliens or Zombies in play!
