A Fine Friday

Quote of the Day:
Jesus: Come with me.
Peter: What are we gonna do?
Jesus: Change the world!
—Dialogue in Son of God, showing in theaters starting February 28.

Picture of the Day:
A bouquet of tulips from the Kroger garden seemed a fitting way to celebrate temps in the 50s and the
disappearance of all the snow (save for melting mountains in the corners of parking lots across town). We're going to have highs in the 20s next week, they say, but this brief respite reminds us that our hope is not out of line. Spring is coming!

Highlight of the Day:
Yesterday (Friday) there were two. First, reconnecting with John Turner at lunchtime. Second, enjoying dinner at our place with Paul and Sev Friskney. They had missed the Christmas dinner we planned with them and the Webers, and I don't remember when we had seen them before that.  (Paul's dad was in the hospital suddenly then, an episode not connected to the car crash and hospitalization in January, from which he did not survive.) Evelyn made a wonderful supper including some old favorites (the wonderful chicken and stuffing casserole first introduced to us by Virginia Beddow when Geoff was born!) and applesauce Jello. Dessert was angel food cake with fresh strawberries and raspberries and whipped cream. We retreated to the living room after awhile, turned on the fire (it was normally chilly outside after dark), and chatted till almost 10:00. A nice way to end the week.
