Saturday morning, one of my favorite times of the week, reflecting on the fun things to do this weekend and thinking back over last week.

I was a minute or two early to work on Friday, beating Meredith. yay! worked on P&P some, don't really know what else. Lots of calls and people coming by. A young computer guy looked at what we have briefly and said he would call his connection at Dell to see if he can get us new computers within our budget. A petite man named Andy came to look at the dishwasher and see about connecting it. I could not find the specs/instructions that came with it. Of course it's been several months, but I was pretty annoyed. One of the board members who's a CPA called about the budget, now that tax season is over. So we will be having a meeting of the Finance Committee early next week.

At lunchtime, I walked to the Bottleworks, had lunch and walked back. It took a little over an hour, but I enjoyed it. The lunch was a little disappointing, though. The Pad Thai wasn't as good as I remembered.

After work, Ray and I went to the Ribbon Cutting for a house that ALT built in Forest Heights. To avoid having a lot of cars parking on the street, we parked at the church and they ran a shuttle bus. There were still a lot of people who parked on the street. It is a beautiful wonderful house, worthy of Dwell (magazine)! It is a "green" house with Earthcraft certification for a mother and 3 children. Lots of energy efficient features--2 x 6 wall framing, lots of insulation, downstairs floors cement, beautiful landscaping, but very small--3 bedrooms, 2 baths, small kitchen and open living-dining area...carport, deck. The Land Trust owns the land, she gets a mortgage for the house--under $100,000.

For supper, frozen tomato sauce that Vanessa made last summer with pasta. Ray took a nap. Captain was working outside until after Vanessa and I ate, setting out peppers and eggplants. Ray got up in time and ate. The three of us headed to Town & Gown to see Picasso at the Lapin Agile, but Captain said he didn't feel well, mostly from trying to hurry and be ready to go.

We enjoyed it, excellent acting, funny and a little peculiar. Vanessa said we should get the book and read it, because you have to really pay attention to catch everything. She and I both dozed a little. Just one act, but a little long. That's what happens when we sit down and relax. But we were home before 10, in time to watch a little TV before bed while we ate our ice cream.
