1. The workers who replaced Josh and Adrienne's roof a while back, started work this morning on replacing the house's siding. Their work was loud, making it highly unlikely that Ellie could sleep during her late morning nap time. Therefore, Debbie, Ellie, and I piled into Adrienne's vehicle and eventually jumped on the Palisades Parkway and headed north to its end and then reversed field and drove back south on the Parkway and made our way home.
It was an easy drive. Traffic was moderate and considerate.
More important, Ellie slept the entire time until we were a short distance from Josh and Adrienne's house.
Moreover, resting in Debbie's lap, Gibbs slept much of the way, too.
For the two of us awake in the car, we enjoyed the handsome scenery and talked about how the rest of this week might play out.
2. With the remodeling project underway and how it affects Ellie, it became clear that it would help Debbie a lot if I didn't make the trip I'd planned for Tuesday to meet up with Scott and Cate in NYC. In addition, a stifling heat wave is also underway and the administrators at Jack's school decided that instruction would be delivered virtually on Tuesday and Wednesday, meaning Jack will be home both days. Grandpa duty calls and I'll help Debbie look after Jack and Ellie and we'll hope the noise isn't as loud today. The project foreman told Adrienne that he thought the rest of the project would be quieter now that most of the old siding is off. We'll see. . . .
3. Josh brought us all a variety of Mexican entrees for dinner tonight from a local spot, Cielito Lindo Mexican Deli. It was delicious and I was happy to accept the invitation to try, along with the quesadilla and enchiladas and other food, a tongue taco and pork stomach taco. I'd eat them both again. I loved this meal and would eat regularly at Cielito Lindo Mexican Deli if I lived in Valley Cottage.
By the way, this makes two terrific take out meals in a row that Josh has brought home. I thoroughly enjoyed Friday's food from Grub, too.
