More Visiting

My niece Stephanie was off work today, so we got a chance to visit with her. Kathy fixed lunch, and afterwards we played some games (Rummikub and Phaze 10). It was fun to play, and great to have a chance to talk and joke and catch up. Unfortunately Todd wasn't able to join us (darn work anyway!).

This evening we watched an American Masters program on Joan Baez. For many years, I have both enjoyed her singing and appreciated her efforts for peace and justice, and we found the program both interesting and informative. We saw her in person at the Greek Theater in LA in September, 1998, along with Michael Doucet with Beausoleil (Cajun zydeco) and Bela Fleck (banjo) and the Flecktones.

It's been cold and rainy since we got to Cleveland and the forecast calls for more rain tomorrow and a high of 40° (way colder than we like), so even though we are enjoying our visit, we're also looking forward to heading south. The high tomorrow in Flower Mound is forecast to be 70°.

I made chicken and dumplings for supper tonight--tummy warming goodness. Haven't had it for a long time.
