Friday was date night dinner. Julia & I had a perfect evening, excellent veal chops, some Louisiana red rice, awesome wine in the good glasses. We wait until the next morning to wash those. It is always a treat for me to enjoy dinner together, even in a restaurant, but there is nothing like a romantic night at home with Julia. The next morning was relaxed, anticipating John & Esther bringing the children and the haul from the farmers market. They had been to Lombardo's the night before, always delightful.
Little Julia & I made pasta together on Saturday, to help celebrate her mom's birthday. She did a terrific job turning the crank, which can be quite a lot of work. We hung the spaghetti on a drying rack, kept way safe from Rae, who likes drying noodles very much. John put the tent up in the yard, only to see the sunshine lose to the rain immediately. With the lightning, camping plans were abandoned until later. We had a great birthday dinner, learning again that homemade pasta expands after it is eaten.
This upcoming week looks pretty cool. Among other things, we will go to the fair. Many great memories of the days of 4-H with my brothers, staying at the fair for days with our lambs. The fair has not changed too much, but one visit is enough these days. Going with grandchildren is a new wrinkle that Julia & I like very much. I hope you all can come along. Check with Julia for reliable information concerning the big night.
