Between the two of us, Everett and I almostly completely decimated this hot loaf of bread after it came out of the oven.

Seriously, how many jobs are there where you can sip on a glass of red wine at your desk? Not too many, but I am fortunate enough to have one. Of course, I have to sip pretty slow and only have one glass, but still! It seemed like quite a luxury when I did it yesterday.

We ended up running into town earlier than planned because Scott needed some roofing tools delivered. Naturally I forgot the grocery list I had so painstakingly made the night before. Still managed to run up a food bill of more than $125, though, so all was not lost. A few items were forgotten and there wasn’t time to organize the recycling and take it along, so we’ll go in again later today too, when I finish work.

Meanwhile, Everett is at the kitchen table working on his math.

I am expecting a fair companion this evening. Cathy is driving out from the city to attend two workshops with me tomorrow over at Scott’s aunt’s place. We are packing them into one day. The other participants are members of the group of friends I call the Likeminded Ladies, who get together to share life stories and talk about subjects they are somewhat reticent about in less familiar company.

The following is from the workshop instructor’s website, Deerhorn Shamanics:
