It was a fun busy day with Ray. We went to a great pilates class at 10:15 and stopped by the farmers' market on our way. I chatted with Richard about what it means to have a certified kitchen. Basically, I will need to find somewhere else to bake if I want to sell cookies at the market. I bought a few onions (at $3/pound!).

After lunch, my Dad came by. He and I worked on the grape arbor he started a few months ago. It was sunny and warm enough to work. Ray split wood and the chickens foraged around us. My Dad gets frustrated because he gets so tired. But he just keeps going, sometimes resting a bit. I do the handing of tools, holding of wood, some of the picking up, and mostly the keeping of company, listening sometimes to the same stories I've heard before. He was pleased with what he got done. Now to staple the lattice onto the frame we put up--shouldn't be hard. He suggested I plant a second grape on the other side of it. I wondered if we could plant something different--a clematis or other flowering vine...He thinks that would be odd.

For supper, a new recipe for rice and beans--not as good as our favorite Roman Rice and Beans, but it used up a pepper. It won't be long before I will no longer be looking for recipes that use up peppers.

At 7, we met Deb and a friend of hers at the dollar theater to wach Crazy, Supid. Love. It was quite good, if you aren't looking for too much realism. Fun, clever. I generally disagree with the basic premise that there is one true love for everyone, but there were some other good messages there. Casual sex with strangers is not that great--although you can find your soulmate that way. Very smart writing leading up to plot twists, which I won't reveal.

I had a good sleep.
