Moot Thoughts & Musings

My posts have been so down lately that I feel like I need to post about my great day. In many ways it was just an ordinary, tired --and dare I say? hot!?-- day.

Ellis and I got groceries, which is cause for great rejoicing. I stocked up at my fave discount produce store, and we came home and had cheese, tomato, cucumber sandwiches on yummy 10 grain bread from Trader Joe's. (Oh! We forgot to get a balloon!) There's nothing like the advent of summer produce to really make me happy. I mean, I can get it year round along with the rest of America, but it just takes like sunshine in the summer.

Then my friend called me from England where they've been living for the past couple of years. (I know, my week to reconnect with overseas friends.) We hadn't talked on the phone in two years, yet it was like no time had passed. We talked for an hour and a half.

(And while we were talking I made cool new placemats--keeping the hands busy.)

Then my friend called me up to see if we wanted to hang out, since both our hubbies were busy tonight. So she and her daughter, E's best girl friend, Maddie, came over. We ate, they played, we gave them baths together, they giggled, and then they went home dreaming of summer walks and afternoons by the pool.

Good food, good friends, good times.
