What a great weekend! Between the weather - gloriously sunny and in the 60's, and the various social events and then Sophie coming home, my cup runneth over.
We had lunch with a friend of Linda's whom we love alot and who somehow between bites keeps us amused and entertained with a running commentary on everything from vacations to kids to just life in general. Great fun, but she tires us both out, just listening to her!
Then we met up with 4 other couples for dinner at a nice Italian restaurant down the street from the LMAF fundraiser. 2 bottles of wine, good food and MUCH laughter later, we headed to the party. It was a nice crowd - all ages, men & women! All celebrating. A big wedding cake was on a table and nice snacks were offered, but we were all too full to partake.
Great music was playing - nice mix of old and new, so we danced A LOT! Did I mention, a LOT? It was so much fun and it was really nice being able to give Ann Stanback a standing ovation for all of her hard work. We headed home about 11:30-ish for the 40 minute ride home.
Isn't it amazing how much longer it takes to recover from a night out?! Oy. I awoke to talk to Sophie when she called to give me an update on her journey home about 8:30 and then headed back to bed after popping some Advil. We awoke at noon!
After showering, getting some coffee and scanning the paper, I took off to pick up Sophie and my ex at the train station about 2. WOW had Sophie grown since last I saw her! And nicely tan and looking very happy to see me!
She brought Linda a little turtle toy (for her collection of turtles) and some candles for me. She spent the afternoon with us and since the weather was so nice, we headed to the beach in Milford to look around and enjoy the views out on the Sound.
We dropped Sophie back with my ex on our way to bowling, where we only won 1 game, but had a great evening bowling a great group of guys. I think we are safely protected our 13th place, thank you very much!
And this week is a short week, as we're heading to Florida to visit Linda's folks on Thursday and not coming back until Monday night.
Busy, busy... will see if I'll get a chance to write again before I leave.
Sounds like a great weekend and another fun one to come. Funny that you and Sophie are taking turns keeping FL warm!

Kathleen... yeah, it just worked out that way. We missed seeing you at bowling this week! Hope you're enjoying California! Have a nice upcoming weekend with your 'boy'!
