Sunshine

We were very happy to wake up to sunshine this morning--the rain is gone, although it's still rather cool. We had our usual lazy Sunday morning, and then we went over to Ed and Julie's. I played with Cate and her friend Faith, who were drawing a hopscotch layout on the sidewalk with different colors of chalk.

I did actually spend some time sewing on my shoe holder project today, but it's not quite done yet. And I still have things to do to improve the bike cover.

Ed took photos of the furniture in the garage that they are hoping to sell on Craigslist. I helped him get the first couple of things posted, but now he's an experienced poster. He got his first nibble almost immediately, on a large oak table.

Ed and I made Betty McDonald casserole for dinner with leftover chicken. Ed whipped up some refried black beans and rice, and Ken shredded the lettuce and chopped the tomatoes. The casserole was a hit--even Cate liked it.

Cathy called Ken this morning to thank him for her birthday present. She was, of course, at Disneyland yesterday all day (where else). Later Ken talked with Jeff about potential plans to meet up next summer. He also talked with his sister, Romaine, who is recovering from hip replacement surgery. She evidently did very well in the rehab facility but finds that her recovery will be longer than first anticipated.
