It has an elegant look to it and the food is delicious. The little shopping village where it's nestled is decorated for Chirstms and I could feel the happy holiday feelings begin to rise up. Memories of Luke and I walking the streets of NY on Chirstmas's past. Truding through the snow and peeking into the "fancy " stores. For some reason, I remember a display with red glassware and I promised myself when I had the money that I'd get some red glassware.
We have a fun but kind of deep conversation. The most serious for a long, long time. Personal-- adult to adult. Then, we went shopping at Target. I like shopping at Target. We were shopping for the kids--Xavier and Violet , Noah and Simon, and I's kids. They don't have anything--so Rain got them sneakers and pj's and Em and I got them winter coats, hat and mittens. I want to mail these out right away and then add boots later. I wish I could get them real shoes but it's hard. Kids feet have to be fitted. I pray that these gifts will be well received. Some of my friends are going to collect clothes that the kids might be able to use either now or when they get bigger. That's what Gramma's do.
Sooooo fun. Em and I got tired at the same time. You know . . . that's a big huge step for me.
Luke played his last concert with the orchestra at St L's. We are leaving the Church. I mentioned that MKate left some time ago. It just wasn't working for us. For a lot of reasons. We are looking forward to looking around and as Em pointed out we don't have to do it on a shedule. Maybe we're the kind of people who like to experience a lot of different worship styles. And that would be all right too. I pledge to stop talking about the journey with people who have an agenda for us. Enough said.
MKate and I fixed dinner. Shrimp with Blue Hake with onions and garlic in tomato sauce. I wanted to use coconut milk but had run out. It's so fun to cook with MKate. The sides were simple--green beans, corn and rice. Simple but very good. I like to flavor my veggies with cocout oil and une plume. Yummy.
I sooo admire the Iron Chefs. I soo wish I could cook like they do.
We watched the movie that we tried to watch last week--" Away We Go" Hummm. I liked the music because it reminded me of the music Luke and I listened to as kids. MKate didn't like the moive at all and went home. I'm not sure how to discribe my experience. I thought the basic tech was off. You couldn't hear all the dialogue. And the comic situations were so broad and exadurated that . . . it was hard to watch. One scene really hit it . . . . when the couple talks about love and gives their pledge to be faithful. That was sweet and touching. I'll remember that scene when I've forgotten better movies.
