It was lovely today... bright... sunny... puffy clouds interspersed... temperatures in the seventies with humidity in the "I'm not sweating to death anymore" range... finally feeling comfortable in my own skin again.
Went to see Grandma and Stella (her sweet aide)... they were happy to see us... chatty... relaxed. We brought fresh bread that I baked last night as a treat. We sat with the balcony doors open and shared our weeks news back and forth... it was familiar and unusual all at the same time. Grandma doesn't really keep up with the news much any longer and so talking about current events was stilted... and a bit odd. She was quite interested and so we filled her in as to the goings on... Grandma... the eternal optimist... she believes it will all work together for good... so does Stella... and I so desperately want to believe them...
We stopped by Mark & Andrea's on the way home to chat and visit for a bit...their new adoptee... Mr Charlie... a handsome black and white kitty marched right onto the deck and into the house... looks like he's moving in 😻😹 (wondering who adopted whom... or is it who... I can never figure that out)
Supper was a melange of the weeks work in the kitchen... leftover chicken sliced thinly... tomato jam... diced cucumber...red onion slices... olives... fresh mozzerella... tomato halves... artichoke hearts and grapefruit sections served with a light grapefruit vinaigrette and the remaining loaf of bread baked last night warmed with butter.
Curfew is finished here in the Big Apple. Last nights protests were peaceful and the city has agreed to treat us all like responsible adults again... Hoping we live up to the hype 😷
How was your day? And what's on your plate? Thoughts anyone?
