Yesterday was lovely. I need to do more outside work, because the least little amount of digging or whatever makes me tired and sore.

Ray and I had a nice walk with Cameron. Breakfast was pancakes made with sour milk--half whole wheat flour. They were great. I had a nice bath and we went to church. Second Sundays are the only ones that I am not singing in the choir and Ray does not have an assignment either (greeting, sound, RE), so we can sit together, which is kind of nice. People often comment about how romantic we are. In church?

For lunch, we met Captain and Vanessa at a restaurant downtown. I have a coupon book that expires 4/15, so am trying to use a few of the coupons before then. We decided on Cozy Yum Yum, a Thai restaurant we have never tried. On our way, my Dad called on the cell phone and said he had dropped Vanessa off and was looking for a parking spot. When we got there, she was standing on the sidewalk. They were closed for Thai New Year! We put her in the car and called the Captain to tell him. He had turned his cell phone off and left it in the car. Ray dropped us off and went to look for him. Naturally he was a little upset, but he got over it. We had lunch at Doc Chey's Noodle House instead. It was good and interesting, but really big and noisy. Then I went to the library and got some books about France! Ray picked up Janna and brought her back to our house. Usually at least once a year, in the spring, she comes to sit on our porch and admire the garden and the peace and quiet. Another good thing that happened at church--I asked J, our Americorps participant, if he and his girlfriend (a law student) would like to spend a couple weeks house-sitting. They seemed very interested, so that is a relief.

Janna and I had a lovely chat in the sun and then Ron came to get her. I planted a few things, but there is more to be done. Couldn't really decide what to have for supper--ate some leftover quiche, Ray mashed some potatoes, and that seemed to be enough. Watched a recording of the Vicar of Dibley--funny and quirky, sort of like Monty Python humor.
