it always amazes me ... Ketzl's reaction to asparagus. i can't cut the pieces quickly enough to get them into the bowl and put it down. he ate it all and is now in a rubenesque pose on top of the piano, with his chin on the music holder. very cute. wonderful cat. tho not much good at guarding the house. maybe he said "nice folks, they left the window open for me to go out. perhaps we should invite them to come back again." i don't think so.
so one quote down, two to go on security systems.
plans to revisit the pawn shops with lists and also the flea market.
also got the suggestion tonight about checking with the outfit that advertises on TV -- send us your gold, we'll send you money. all good ideas.
today jay and cindy introduced me to a new restaurant, not too far from the synagogue: Jerusalem. middle east food. yummy, if you like tabouleh, which i surely do. and baba ganoush. oh yum. and i got to see pictures of Ella, the fabulous grandchild princess. happy birthday tomorrow cindy. see, i've been reading linda's yahoo calendar. and a card from the collection. nice to have them go to good homes. jay wants his angel/mermaid/etc. to have more cleavage. i'll work on that. :~)
one thing about this whole break-in thing: i don't think i've been crying as much in the last few days as i have concentrated on the practicalities of the situation. so i made up for it a bit at dinner. no tissue alert this time. i forget what prompted the tears.
things i don't understand: synchronized diving. Beverly Hills Chihuahua, a new Disney movie. why, when you do laundry, there is so much to put away.
thank you's to everyone who has called, written or thought about me recently. mark the calendar for Saturday, August 23 and the baseball game at the San Jose Giants.
