Neither G nor I had the
energy to fix food for the picnic, so we bought a carrot cake at Vons. Everybody likes carrot cake. We arrived on time for the food, and somebody
made a magic potatoe salad. That was all
gone by the time I reached it as was the carrot cake.
I ate, I schmoozed, and
eventually the cold winds chased me away from socialites. I read quietly in Grumpy’s front seat while
the picnicker’s faded away and the paid people broke down the tables and
chairs. I dozed too. Good stuff dozing. Then home to find a wonderful photo book
about San Diego from my librarian friend Katy.
Thank you Katy!!!!
The paper bag wrapping for
the book contained this additional note….perhaps for her kids….
“Wed.
Garden(s) watered last
night.
Goats and Jaeger got double
food this a.m. Water buckets full.
…………….Veggie Burgers

…………….buns in your
freezer.

ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a wonderful time -- I commiserate with you on missing out on that potato salad and the carrot cake! That happens to me all too often at potlucks! Someone brings a really outstanding dish that I've never seen and voila! it's gone before you know it (or I've reached the point where I can sample it). Thank you so very much for your one word sentence advice. So wonderful to have you as my friend in this life... Love you!
ReplyDeleteLove the vehicles!
ReplyDeleteI love potlucks. Next year elbow to the head of the line!
ReplyDeleteOoh, love that Ford Pantera. That magic potato salad really must have been magic.
