This and That

Woke up this morning thinking -

its here

its next Friday.

Not ready.

Still have a list

Check sound

finish program, etc, etc, etc.

And along the way rehearse the story.

I have been in this territory before

It WILL work out

My good friend Betsy is coming from PA next Saturday!

I will tell the story

then we will go to lunch

to talk

and talk

and talk.

Of important things

like

cabbages and kings and sealing wax

before she and her husband

take off

to the land of King Arthur

on a sabbatical

surrounded by craggy rocks and ancient books.

Jim and I will fly

in the opposite direction

in August

California here we come

to visit with grandsons, family and friends

some young and looking to the future

others old and living in the past.

We all have our own journeys

so its wonderful

to throw up bridges

along the way.

A familiar dish:

Fixed comfort food for supper last night

Tuna casserole made the 1950s way

Tuna, macaroni, and cream of mushroom soup

Layered in a deep dish.

Still good -

especially with thick slices of fresh picked tomatoes.
