Waited for the torrents of rain and wind to stop, or at least, abate, and then went to the Marin County Farmers Market. i didn't need anything, but i wanted to check it out. It's by the Convention Center, which is a really nice facility. there weren't alot of farmers there, but i liked the market, as of course, everything was fresh, organic and our familiar "sustainable."
i bought a rotisserie chicken from a catering place that was crowded, so i bought one for when Dan is here. i also bought some interesting breads for tonight, a walnut blue cheese, and some others.
i then cooked rumaki, and parmesean mustard chicken wings for Lindsey and Jay to watch the Academy Awards tonight. i bought some foil stars from a Dollar Store to decorate.
It's rainy and lonely, i do feel alone today.
i took a walk, and i felt so much better. Met some people on the way. They used to live in South Haven, knew all about Michigan, even Maple City! he is the homeowners Ass'n president, so he gave me some good info about who to get in touch with for a short term rental next year. They were very friendly and nice, although he described Governor Granholm as a "rotten, Commie, pinko"! I just laughed and joked with him, his wife did too.
I saw the wild turkeys on the walk, they are always around and so funny. One or two Toms, and the rest seem to be like the harem. i also saw deer on the walk; it's really quite nice around here, we are surrounded by paths and hills and protected land.
Came back home, and Jay and Lindsey came over. They loved my little decorations. i think we are the only 3 who appreciate these things, so i knew they'd like them. Watched the Oscars, all of us bored but still.........you have to watch! but one more comment.....it's really so nice to be on the west coast to watch the awards. It's the first time i can remember in years, when i could actually stay awake! And, i am sitting here now watching the post show! This is amazing to me.
and p.s., with apologies to Dan, but it was nice watching the show with people who were awake!
