Variety in a Day
The day started by a discussion as to what supper would be. Wow! I wasn’t even dressed for the day and we need to know what is going to be served for supper!
Dennis declared he would be making supper and we needed to fill in the blanks as to what would be needed. I told him I would dice and sauté the onion for him. Dennis headed for the store as he needed a can of peas and a jar of Alfredo sauce. The end result is that supper was going to be a tuna, pasta and pea oven dish, complete with the sautéed onions. We eat onions in most of what is cooked.
A classmate of Dennis’ was walking by and Dennis invited Janet in for a visit as he was heading to the store. I enjoyed the visit as Janet and I have been acquaintances. Our daughters were in school together.
I don’t get into Dennis’ way when he cooks. It is because, my advice is the last thing he needs. I also stay away as he washes up the dishes from his prep. I had headed out to the patio porch to work my whiles on painting the cement rooster. I also didn’t need any advice in my project.
Dennis and I met up at twelve noon for a bite of lunch. Each, willing to share how each of our projects had gone. I know I will be eating good and Dennis knows all he has to do is give the rooster several coats of poly.
The afternoon air was pleasant for patio sitting. Neighbor Jan came from the north and the two of us caught up with each other. Jan works in the school’s library and her vacation days will cease the day after Labor Day. Dennis joined right in.
As all three of us were enjoying the afternoon, Dennis noticed quite the group of wasps that were in the process of nesting under the garage roof line. Black Flag promises a shot up to 20 feet away. Time will tell how the fast draw of the ole cowboy did to hit the target.
Our plans for this last holiday of the summer is consistent . . . enjoying our home. Gotta love it!
