One Good Neighbor

The last two days were big adventures, so today was recovery day. It was great to sleep in, or in my case go back to sleep after a rogue early morning jet flew over our house. I lazed around. Had a zoom call with the great people at The Tides Inn where I am teaching classes in October. Did some more mah Jongg class work and then went to the market to get the last things I needed for the dinner I was making tonight.

We invited our neighbor Evelyn over for dinner. She has always been the nicest person to us. She is good at giving us the dirt, especially since our house was built by her grand parents. Turns out the women next door to us, are not just rude to us, but everyone.

Evelyn is vegetarian so I made and eggplant, zucchini, onion, sun dried tomato bake with cottage cheese, mozzarella and Gruyere. Then I make a butternut squash, fennel, thyme, roasted garlic and feta with rigatoni. Good thing they were yummy as we will be eating them for many meals to come.

Evelyn was very entertaining and stayed a very long time, which we loved. Shay tried to go up to bed before she left, but did not want to miss any of the action. It is great to have a neighbor you like so much. Evelyn sold two of her three houses that are next to us to a couple of lawyers from Washington DC. We hope we like them. She will still be living in one of her houses so at least we will still have her.
