We were all up and out by 10:30 yesterday. We had made plans to meet our friend Don for donuts at the fabulous Dynamo Donuts but discovered at the last moment that they were closed for the week. NUTS! We met, instead, at Don's loft in a very cool and hip area of the city. Loft living.
We walked three blocks to the best "greasy spoon" with a Cajun twist. Great food. Nice people. The only issue was Kimberly and I were seated with our backs facing the street. The sun was beating in on us and both of us were extremely hot. When we finally finished, we raced outside for air. The cool breeze felt terrific. We then crossed the street to an amazing coffee place that brews each cup individually. Sometimes there is a line around the block. They have tables along the side of the building and that is where we sat in the sun but with a lovely soft cool breeze. It was so satisfying, we all felt totally relaxed.
We drove back home down the coast where William and Michael continued to work on the Mustang through the afternoon and after dinner. It is looking great.
Today, I am going to rehab, Michael is going into work while William and Kimberly head back into the city for some fun. While they are gone, I am going to put the Christmas presents away, water the pots in the garden, balance the checkbook and pay the bills due on Monday; all the things I have not done while we have had people staying with us.
With continued company, I still feel the soft glow of Christmas surrounding my days. Extends the holiday. Extends the Christmas spirit. Just lovely.
