As expected, we woke up to the pitter patter of rain on the roof. It was not a downpour - just kind of drizzly. It did not dampen our spirits, though, we relaxed in the family room and ate a late leisurely breakfast while making plans for lupper (that's late lunch which then pretty well takes care of supper too). Ray's Cafe was recommended and according to Google Maps, it is only 9.4 miles away. We printed out the directions and had no trouble finding it. Marilyn had called to make reservations so we were treated to a nice window table overlooking the sound. Even with the cloudy weather, it was very pleasant. We all had the halibut luncheon special - a trio of halibut, mashed potato pancake, lucious salad and coconut cookies for dessert. We were all members of the clean plate club, that's for sure. I was so eager to chow down when the plates arrived that I forgot to take a picture of the beautiful plate of food.

Marilyn in her Red Raincoat
Marilyn and Bob had never been to a Trader Joe's so we drove over to one in the neighborhood and enjoyed shopping there and getting a few bottles of wine and other delicacies. We seemed to have a lot of "stuff" in our cart and the bill was only $39 - we thought that was a pretty good deal. There are a couple of TJ's coming to Kansas City (according to their web site) so Marilyn was quite pleased. |
Spent the evening at home with wine and cheese, a little TV and 6 or 7 rousing games of Sequence. The boys did better tonight and while we are still in the lead, we will have to do better tonight.
