Okay . . . that was fun . . .

 

 

Headed out early yesterday and picked up younger sister at 9:20. She lives in a beautiful region of Connecticut. We drove to Simsbury for our home made bread French toast at the Harvest. The fruit on my plate was so fresh and sweet I was amazed. Not the time of the year you expect big, fat boysenberries to be succulent! Naturally I had real maple syrup also. Even the coffee was extra good. As I think about it it was probably the company I was keeping that made the world a bright, sweet, warm, wonderful place to be. We took a neat drive by a small dirt airfield and stopped, hoping to see one of the high wing older planes take off but I think it had just landed so we watched him as he taxied back to the hangar before we went to the dog park to see the dogs playing. I left about noon. While we were chatting I asked R a very vain question and she gave a good answer! I had been letting my hair grow but was getting antsy about it so I asked if the longish hair made me look older than my usual short haircut. She said, " Older." That did it. When I got home I tried to call my regular hairdresser but it was her day off. In total despair I called Donald who used to cut Ma Tante's hair and mine umpteen years ago. His shop is in Central Village next to the Roadside Diner where his wife works. He bade me come "tout de suite" and I am now sporting the best haircut I've had in those same umpteen years for $8 cheaper! He's a keeper.

We went to supper at Gus' in Plainfield with Oneco friends and family before the ladies left for Goodspeed Opera House to see Something's Afoot, a musical comedy that was just a lot of fun and laughs. What an excellent day and night. Have to start getting ready to go to Groton and lunch duty.
