Not my favorite picture of myself, but you can see how long my hair is getting! (someone told me I look like a little girl--not exactly what I was going for...)I helped with the New UU class yesterday morning, which starts with a breakfast. It was fun getting to know a few people better, working together. I also got to hear the stories of how we all came to be UU's (or think about being UU's). "My Mom was Catholic and my Dad was Southern Baptist." "I grew up in a Jewish atheist household" (that from Frank Boardman; I think he is UU the way some people are gay--resisting, but he has no choice). A woman who grew up in Louisiana speaking French until she started school, learning her catechism in French...
Spent some time at home eating lunch and straightening up a little more. Ray vacuumed the whole house, and I mean the ceiling fans and everything. It really needed it, but the good news is it didn't seem to trigger his allergies. As he said, now he has no excuse... Mom L.'s flight was a little delayed. We got there in plenty of time, in fact, we had a frosty shake from Wendy's. We got what they are now calling "day passes" so we could meet her at the gate. When the flight arrived and people started filing off, we didn't see her. We asked the stewardess if that was everyone and she said yes. Of course, she is not allowed to check the list and tell us if she was on the flight or not, but eventually someone came with a wheelchair to bring her off. I don't know why she decided she wanted one after all, but it is a big airport. She was fine, her flight went well.
We drove to a restaurant I had picked as being reasonably priced, convenient, and having a menu we would like, Ted's Montana Grill. They said it was a 45 minute wait, but we weren't really in a hurry. We were studying the menu and thinking about ordering drinks, when our buzzer went off. It was really noisy and crowded, and our table was not in the best spot. But everything was delicious. They even have a $15 special--appetizer, dinner, cookie. Ray and Mom got the meatloaf (with mashed potatoes and squash casserole). Ray had a salad too. I had prime rib, with asparagus and baked sweet potato. It was very good. Mom treated us! I fell asleep on the way home, but she is settled in her room and hopefully slept well.
The birds are starting to sing and it is supposed to be 78 today! And...I don't think we'll go anywhere all day. It's Ray's birthday and I may do some cooking for the week, although with him on vacation, he can probably do the cooking.
