A beautiful, but cool and breezy day. High 68, I think.

Jim and Lidet and Ray and I walked around the perimeter in the morning after breakfast. Polly and Nate and Lidet and I headed for the farmers market later. They had lovely lettuce and other things that I have too. But I did buy a couple small peppers. It was late, so most things were gone. Polly bought some empanadas for the kids. We went to Mom and Dad's, for Polly to see. And then we all went to Mama's Boy for lunch. Unfortunately, I forgot that it was G Day and there were lots of people in town. It's a sort of pretend football game that they stage in the spring--so people won't forget about them? There were lots of people and noise at the restaurant, but otherwise it was perfect. Everyone was able to get what they wanted to eat and we sat at a great round corner booth. There's a park just outside, where Jim and Nate played catch.

We all went back to the house, where the Captain peeled and grated the horseradish in the food processor for me. It was strong! It made him cry and me choke. He went out in the garden some. Nate and I played a game of Spider. I gathered up everything I needed for the seder and took Polly and Lidet with me to the Fellowship.

Denise was a whirlwind, setting up tables and tablecloths, while Bob set up the music. I put a giant pot of water on to boil, to cook the matzoh balls, and put the soup on another burner to reheat. I made up the seder plates: a little parsley, a little horseradish, a little charoset, bones, but the eggs had to wait until the last minute. Austin came in and needed a burner to boil the eggs on. Anyway, it was sort of disorganized, but we did have a passover seder. The soup was not great, the matzoh balls were a little better, the charoset was fine. The kids were pretty good. I think most people enjoyed it. Ray did some of the dishes, then I told him to leave them. We were home by 9, but I wasn't much good for anything; I was asleep before the kids.
