A Good Friday

It was a good Friday!
Highlights of here's why:
Had coffee and breakfast with Bill Weber midmorning, a satisfying heart-to-heart conversation about what's going on in our lives.

We demonstrated that we can be as exuberant as the 

Pinocchio statue in front of the Cincinnati Art Museum.

Drove home, picked up Evelyn and Jennifer, and then we drove to Weber's condo and picked up Verna for a trip to the Cincinnati Art Museum. Our goal was to see the temporary Monet exhibit. We were able to enjoy it and see a bunch of other stuff there too, including a temporary Picasso exhibit.

Stopped by Krohn Conservatory to see the Spring Blooms show, and then dropped Verna back home before heading to Patricia's Cakes where Jen made final selections of cake flavors and size of cake for our big day June 30. This involved getting acquainted with the delightful Patricia herself. She's been baking wedding cakes for at least four decades, about half of that time in her own business. This also involved tasting several flavors of cakes and fillings. Yum!

By the time we were finished, it was after 5:00, but we were too full of cake to eat supper. So we headed straight for Kenwood Mall, where Evelyn and Jennifer shopped for Easter clothes (they didn't buy any), a wedding dress for Nina (no luck there, either), and made a couple of passes at wedding dresses for Evelyn (so far we've purchased only one, which has been in the closet for two or three weeks).  :-)

We left the mall as it was closing and went to LaRosa's for a late dinner. Altogether, the three of us were gone for about eight hours, much of it walking on concrete, and even the young member of our trio said she was tired at the end of our good Friday.

The Spring Blooms flower show included several plants we more often see in the summer.
