I spent last Sunday enjoying a rainy day and reading an easy fiction book, while John whipped up several delicious creations in the kitchen. Eating here is such a challenge, so I was especially delighted in having some new, tasty dishes to eat. Those DC cooking lessons are paying off!<\/p>\n
I had two nice video chats this week. One was a group video for our friend Barb who in retiring in DC – it was fun to see her face when she walked into a conference room and was greeted by a surprise virtual retirement party. I also chatted with Ann, Pam, and Jackie yesterday where we continue to try to solve the world\u2019s problems!<\/p>\n
Last night we went to a friend\u2019s house for a small dinner and a couple of games of Catan – fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
