...and the day ran away with the spoon
...and the knife and fork and a bunch of kitchen-ey items, as I got the loft ready for a small group of evening visitors.
Or, maybe I shouldn't call them mere visitors. My recollections this morning are foggy, but I distinctly remember looking toward the loft windows and seeing two chairs positioned in front. On those two charis were not exactly nine ladies dancing, but definitely at least two. Through the windows, the dome of the Capitol looked on. As did I.
It began as an evening of celebration. A daughter with a job offer was reason enough to go order some rainbow drinks along with the much beloved Ahi tuna, downtown, at the Crave.
Back at the loft, food was not the centerpiece. Or was it? I once said that if I had only a handful of foods available to me and I could pick my handful, it would include bread, cheese and chocolate.
At midnight, someone who does not stop just because it is midnight, proposed more revelry and music. Truth is, no one could keep up with her. I vaguely remember thinking I should stay up and post. I fell asleep thinking I should post.

I am soooo bad. Sometimes I make chocolate sandwiches for my kids (and me!)
ReplyDeleteThere really is something about bread and chocolate. Bread and cheese, of course, no one is going to raise an eyebrow over that, but bread and chocolate...mmmm.
See, I told you so.
