Betty and Muckie were running late, so I went to Shop-Rite before Italian Gourmet where we were having lunch. Susan had given each of her female dinner guests a packet of six pretty pansies, tied up with a ribbon and when I saw more, I bought them.
We had a congenial lunch. I had picked up a spray of flowers and a card for Muckie--it was her birthday--and gave Betty the "bath balls" from Susan, along with the gift card I got her from Bed 'n' Bath.
After we parted, I headed over to the cemetery and was pleased to see sprays of lovely little Narcissus (miniature daffodils) blooming on each side of Pat''s grave. I had forgotten I had planted them. Then went to Jay's and saw the full-sized daffys were about to open there, too. That inspired me to zip down to Produce Junction and get four pots of little white mums to add to the graves. As I was leaving, I saw some wonderful pineapple plants. Yes, yes, they consist of spreading leaves and a cunning little pineapple in the middle. Could I walk out without one? Of course not, and I didn't.
Stopped at Canal's to replenish the wine cellar (the wooden rack in the dining room) and got home about 5:00. I had eaten only half of my Reuban for lunch, so had the rest for dinner.
Printed out what my friend, Pat R., had put on her blog. Muckie asked for a copy and I put it in the mail.
Expecting Pat's niece, Donna, at 9:00 and we're going to do the 5K walk together, then meet Marilyn for lunch.

Rosemary,
Thank you for sending the tribute to Bob. He'd mentioned to me that he ran into her at a party last summer while he was in NJ. He referred to her as Roseellen Barber-- i thought everyone knew her as Muckie--just struck me as funny.
Have a great run---i envy your energy. Keep running Bunny.

I think Muckie was known more by "Rosellen" in high school. As a joke, Betty sometimes calls her "Rochelle."

SATURDAY
