• Pie!

  Tremor3258 came over after work yesterday, and we had a very low-key "Welcome Home, Marisol!" celebration dinner.  All we had was fancy chicken, romaine salad, and strawberry-rhubarb pie, but, I must have outdone myself because voluntary compliments about the meal were proffered.  Of course, we are all crazy about homemade pie.

  After dinner, the four of us went outside to sit on the steps to the lake and talk.  The weather was beautiful, so I think we all enjoyed ourselves.  Kissa, who is remarkably indifferent to getting wet for a cat, joined us.  Marisol is having trouble adjusting to Kissa because she (Marisol) doesn't know the cat very well.

  When it got dark, we watched Charlie Wilson's War on TV.  Parts of the movie were funny and parts were sad.  Most of the main characters made amusing remarks but seemed to be extremely unhappy people.  And, of course, the Afghans were just trying to survive in tragic circumstances.  Because the comedy was just extraneous fluff, my overall impression of Charlie Wilson's War is one of sadness and loss.

  After the movie, Marisol insisted upon watching CSI: Miami.   Tremor3258 is perhaps that show's most vehement anti-fan, so he left for home then.  (Plus he had to get up to work today.)

  The evening doesn't sound very exciting, but I guess I've just reached the stage of life where being with family are my moments to treasure.
