A busy day at work today: reading manuscripts, clarifying some assignments, knitting together details for my travel next week. Met with the staff to discuss production and other issues for the next few weeks. Matt Lockhart asked all his direct reports if they'd like to go to lunch, and I was the only one available. We went to BD's Mongolian Grill--a fun place with an infinite number of possible combinations: Go through the bars and put meat and pasta in a bowl, and then pile on the vegetables of your choice. Choose or mix your sauce--Asian or Mexican or Italian, mild or tangy or spicy. Then take the bowl to the guys at a huge, tablecloth-size grill where they stir-fry it all up for you to take back to your seat and eat with white rice, brown rice, or soft tacos. Yummy.
More than I had planned to eat for lunch, though, because Evelyn and I took Verna Weber to supper at Mimi's tonight. And the three of us are sitting in our living room with our feet up as I write this. Verna is home for two weeks when she wanted to be in New Zealand with Bill visiting their daughter and husband and grandkids. She aborted her trip in Los Angeles when she got word that her mom had been taken to the hospital. So we asked her if we could give her some company tonight. She's staying overnight, and I'm expecting to see pajamas soon.
She's spending a lot of time at Mason Christian Village where her mother, Mildred Holmes, is in the nursing wing after two hospitalizations. We'd enjoy having Bill here, but it's fun to just hang out with Verna.
Good friends create a wonderful excuse to relax, eat (yes, eat!), and talk about life. What a blessing to have them!
Yes, indeed Mark on the good friends...
