Life
Life slowed down considerably after all that travel in such a short time! We had some quiet time at home last week and enjoyed some fun, too.
Wednesday evening, we met our Australian friends for the first time in person! I first met Annie about 13 years ago when I started an online support group for parents whose kids had similar chronic illnesses to ours. We bonded over our shared challenges, supported each other, and became good friends. She was one of the first parents in the group that helped me as an admin when it got to be too much for me alone. She and her husband are here to visit their son who’s doing a semester abroad in D.C., and we were thrilled to meet for dinner on their way through our area. We talked for hours! We share a very special bond, and it meant a lot to us to finally meet in person.
Saturday was our 34th anniversary, and we enjoyed dinner at a unique restaurant, located in a greenhouse as part of a huge farmer’s market/garden center. Our son gave us a gift certificate after he and his girlfriend discovered it. They rightly guessed that I would love the focus on delicious, fresh food, and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner (that clay pot on the table contained fabulous sourdough bread baked in the pot). We rarely eat in restaurants anymore, due to my immune disorder, so this was a special treat in beautiful surroundings.
And I enjoyed a walk on yet another cool, cloudy day midweek, though by Saturday evening, the remnants of the tropical storm that sat on top of us for over a week finally cleared out, and we are enjoying perfect fall weather now!

Not much blogging time last week, after being away so much, but I did manage one review:
