💓Busy, fun day. Access van picked me up early, so I got to Ellen's about 11:15. She was still dressing, but Mike came out, energetic as usual, and he and I went to the Ojai farmers' market. I was amused by this sign and am going to send it to Bev, who had brought persimmons to our T.O.P.S. meeting (she and husband have a farm in Santa Paula):
I got broccoli, but nothing else, as I was annoyed at the incredibly high prices. Yes, yes, some are "certified organic" and yes, yes, I'm not hurting for money, but charging a dollar each for very small lemons is a crime. El had asked Mike to get some sweet potatoes, but the ones we saw there were misshapen and didn't look all that good, so we went to The Rainbow Bridge for them.
Back at El's, we had a late lunch--her yummy, homemade chicken vegetable soup--then talked and laughed. The kids, Ellen and Mike--61 and 57, respectively--had a few things to do and while they did, I took a short nap on Ellen's bed. Got up and Mike and I went to Bart's Books--he bought four, I none, as I have several at home I haven't started yet. After that, we sat and played an uproarious game of gin rummy. Mike won by a longshot, but we were all winners, as we had such a great time.
Access van came to get me at 6:00 and off I went home after a wonderfully good day. Mike wants to go to Barnes & Noble today and I may or may not go with him. I told him I'd be flexible--whatever they want to do, I'll do today. I would like to be with them tomorrow (Tuesday). The water will be out in my building for part of the day. Then on Wednesday, I'll be making the pie--I decided on just a pumpkin, no apple and there'll only be the five of us. 💓
