good-looking baby yellow squash
Ray slept very late, not getting up until almost 10, so we were not able to go to hear a speaker on health care that I was very interested in. I should have gone myself, but didn't know he would be that late.  I made some muffins and froze them to bake later. Garden is good, morning was cool, we walked a little.

Went to run some errands and ate lunch at Quizno's. We had to wait a long time becuase the women's tennis team was in line ahead of us. Each of them ordered one to eat there and one to go. Ray enjoyed chatting with the coaches. He had two of the young women in his class earlier in the year. I picked up a birthday present from Avid Bookshop. Molli had ordered a book and had them call me when it came in!

We looked at dressers at a couple used furniture stores and found one we liked that was only $150. The owner said she would reduce the price--I would never have asked her, but I guess she saw we were wavering. She sold it to us for $110 plus tax. We will pick it up today, after she has time to clear everything from the top. My Dad wants a second dresser, so I will give him mine. This one is long and low, so it will theoretically replace two in our room. In reality, we will have to get rid of some things to fit everything in 7 drawers instead of 10. It will look nicer, though, under the window. Ray will take the pickup truck.

We spent several hours at home. I made a lovely stew from the veggies we had and we ate it with orzo. Then we went downtown to an Occupy Athens event. It was a lovely evening, but there were only a few people there--maybe 10 or 12. Maureen, Erin's Mom, was the stage manager for a lineup of bands. We didn't stay late enough to hear the music, but did get to see pictures of Erin's baby. She is living in China, and the father is in New York. Maureen is going to visit next month.  Also saw Vicoria H., who is gratduating high school soon. She was wearing black lipstick. Her sister Hannah was going to be playing in one of the bands.

We finished up the brownie pie wih ice cream and watched a couple game shows, before going to bed a little after 10.
