Early evening yesterday was spent pleasantly in Oneco with old friends, wine, delectable hors d'oeuvres and relaxing conversation with a good deal of laughter. Left for dinner in Voluntown where we had excellent meals; two chicken Marsala, one Bourbon Jambalaya, one salmon. On our return to Oneco it was time for chocolate sweets and Lemoncello Crema. Not sure how we can find so much to talk about but it is nice to feel relaxed and comfortable with such kind friends.
When we returned home we watched the end of the UCONN vs Arizona game. Wow, that was a fantastic UCONN win. Today we watched the UCONN women come back from a terrible performance to beat a very good Georgetown. I was prepared for a loss and would not have been upset because they have been playing above and beyond expectations. But they survived with some really great coaching and kids who would not give up. No matter how the UCONNS end up in this March Madness they have given us a great show this year.
We don't usually watch a movie on a Sunday afternoon but Grampa had me buy The Straight Story and since it was sunny yet cold and windy as the devil we stayed in and watched a matinée. What a moving true story about a trip one elderly brother takes on his lawnmower to visit his estranged brother who lives over four hundred miles from him. It is slow paced but a beautiful tribute to humanity. Excellent, touching film.
