Thrilled and overjoyed that I finally got the flowers in. I seem to go into a kind of trance while I'm buying--oh, these are so pretty and those I have to have and that would look gorgeous right in the middle--but then I have to PLANT them. What a chore, especially when the abrasions on my knee are just healing. Got it done, though, and it looks great.
Had a wonderful time last night at the D.'s next door. Frank and Barb are such wonderful hosts. Besides me, it was Ray and Barb H., Joe and Barb M., and Leslie and Dennis R. We all live in a row and what a good, convivial group we are. We played dominoes, but of course, the whole purpose was to be with our friends. The talk was good and the laughs were many. Barbara served wonderful homemade pies, Les brought tiramasu, and the wine flowed, too. The party didn't break up until 11:00, an unheard of hour for me, but what fun!
Going today with Barb H. and her sister, Pat, to the Bartram's Garden, billed as the oldest living botanical gardens, in Philly. The three of us often go on van tours sponsored by Ocean County and this is one of them. Must be at Barb's by 7:30.
