So City 3
Yesterday i just hung out with Noni. We shortened my newest Apron bought in Sydney in the last few weeks before my departure. She really likes the style so we aRe going to try to making a pattern from it before I go and maybe make one. Last night we went to a church group dinner, not sure which one, but it was a turkey dinner since thanksgiving is not far away. Uncle mike did not go so it was non and gramps, Linda and I, the original famiglia. It was in the All Souls School cafeteria so driving into the playground and walking into the cafeteria brought back all sorts of memories.
Although there were a few younger folk ( there was a high school class doing the serving), most were 60 and up with probably half in the 80 plus group. Of course they all know one another and Non and Gramps are stars and Auntie Lindy is well loved, everyone is happy to have them at their table, so even though we were a little late to get 4 seats together, one of the tables adjusted to fit us in.
I got lots of hugs from the older ladies I saw in December at noni's party and of course there are always a few people who go crazy when you say Australia either because they have been there before or they have always wanted to go there. Then there are the parents of primary school classmates or high school friends. We sat across from Cynthia Behrund's sister-in-law who told me that Cynthia is going to be a grandmother in January. So I will try to call her today.
This morning Uncle Mike and I are walked again in another one of his favourite walking spots, the walk along Crystal Springs reservoir. We walked for a bit longer and it was a real treat. Now I am at peats coffee shop for a bit of blogging while I wait for Linda to pick me up. Uncle mike has gone off for his haircut. Think I have about an hour which will give me time to finish this and the scoot around the shops nearby. Heaven.
