1. This quiet and, for me, mostly restful day reached its peak of fun between about 5 and 7 o'clock when Debbie and I mozeyed next door to Christy's for this week's family dinner. Carol and Paul were busy in the afternoon with today's performance of Nunsense in Wallace and then they drove to Moscow to join the vigil as our family awaits the arrival of Cosette's baby boy, Buchanan. Molly and Brian, I hope, had a blast at a bowling party in Mullan.
That left Debbie, Christy, and me to have dinner together.
For an appetizer, I made stuffed celery having blended a mixture of whipped cream cheese, grated sharp cheddar cheese, bacon pieces I fried, finely chopped red pepper, and Everything but the Bagel seasoning.
Christy made a superb meat loaf with two remarkable sides: one featuring mashed parsnips and the other cubed winter squash.
We listened to Simon and Garfunkel Radio via Pandora and talked about a myriad of things.
Debbie was bushed. She'd worked in her classroom today and she'd been spending a lot of time getting things organized and figured out for her spring break departure on March 29th -- details forthcoming -- and this has involved phone calls, text messages, and different coordinating tasks, all draining.
2. Debbie also spearheaded a project in our living room. I wasn't a huge help, but we did roll back our living room rug and put down a pad underneath it. No doubt this would have been a fairly easy job when we were younger, but was tiring today -- we are no longer younger!
3. When I traveled to Eugene, I didn't do any NYTimes crossword puzzles and all those unfinished puzzles have been awaiting me to go back and solve them. I had fun today making progress in the crossword archives -- and, well, I still have a ways to go!
