Our professor is out of town, and I have to say, he couldn’t have picked a better day to cancel class! It was beautiful weather today, and Sydney and I got to enjoy it at home. I finally loaded up on groceries, so our house is brimming with good things. I think I ate too many evening meals last week from whatever happened to be hiding in my desk drawer (pretzels, raisins, etc.). So today I came home with strawberries!
Friends from New Haven, Jon and Jean Bonk, stopped in for lunch and we had a great visit. On our past two New Haven visits we have missed them, so it was great to remedy those missed connections. I think they were amused by the ways that these two recent dorm-dwellers have graduated to a place of our own and the world of cooking. Our wall of books didn’t pass without comment!
Easter weekend looks to be somewhat interesting: it’s now equated in my mind with lots of singing. I’ve been roped into singing on Maundy Thursday (now I need to go look up what that is), and then we’re going to rehearse a good while on Saturday for the piece we’ll be singing Sunday morning. Oh yes, and we’re setting up for church on Sunday (don’t faint at the news, Sydney), so it looks to be an early morning, as well as a singing one and Easter. Time to start downing the water and lemon-and-honey tea.
