16-07-11

We had a nice Second Sunday Supper. There weren't as many of us as usual, but those of us who were there just relaxed and laughed and talked. Laughter at both tables. 

My baked macaroni and cheese turned out much better than my mac and cheese has been lately, so I was happy about that. The roast scared me because I can't find the cut I used to use. Used chuck roast, but dredged it with a mixture of flour and the powder part of the onion soup. Really exceptionally good, so I hope I remember that. The pans of rolls work better than having to deal with cookie sheet, so I'll go back to that. Still have to figure out how to use the rice cooker. 

Today is Andrew and Annette's anniversary. I thought (my book says) they married in 98, but Facebook says 97. I went to the house to try find pictures or something. Looking through the 97/98 pics was so much fun. Such happy days. I remember that they were busy, that there never seemed to be enough time, that sometimes I felt like I had more time to prepare than others, but looking back I can see how much happiness percolated up in all of that. 

Beth is feeling better.

Morgan moved out of her apartment. She and Brandon are going to live with friends while their house is being built. 

Brittany and Patrick sat with us, and in part of the conversation they talked about going out with friends and going downtown. Patrick hadn't wanted to go --- doesn't like crowds, feels pretty sure someone's going to make him mad --- there was laughter and its wane his words, as he glanced at Brit who was sitting beside him, "watching out for her the whole time." 

Beverly, Ange and Kennedy made it home from the Boulder trip today. John came to pick Kennedy up and was sitting in his car in the driveway. We waved. I turned back to wave again as I got to the front of the car ---- and he got out to hug me. 

Noah, re: the chocolate that was all over him: I have an explanation.

Skyler texting Faith to tell her that her friend Sylvia was coming.
