We’ve been enjoying company the past couple of days. Morgan and friend, Albert, have come up from the city. They arrived in Ithaca yesterday afternoon, and return to New York tomorrow evening. It’s a little getaway for them, and a nice treat for us. Since George and I have had to work while they are here, we have had indoor picnics to celebrate our evenings together - grilled chicken last night, and london broil on the grill this evening. Of course, Morgan doesn’t participate in our meat-eating, so we have had other picnic foods like potato salad, baked beans, fruit salad, vegetable kabobs. It would have been nice to have our picnics outdoors, but it has been cold and damp since they arrived.

They are off visiting friends tonight, but I have put a rhubarb crisp in the oven for them to enjoy when they get in.

The cats have found Morgan’s suitcase to be the most pleasant resting spot. It would appear that Picasso is entertaining thoughts of a return trip to the city…….but if you ask me, she’ll think twice about it.
