We had quite a week. Tuesday I saw my dermatologist. Wednesday Danita took Bud to see the cardiologist. Thursday Danita planned to eat breakfast with Margo, one of the women she worked with at UMBC. Those plans got changed when Bud called at 4:20 AM, confused and disoriented. Danita spent the morning with Bud, taking him to the Urgent Care. After a morning of tests, they decided there was nothing wrong. Meanwhile, I was calling Margo to cancel the breakfast.

Our street had a brunch at Bob Evans yesterday. I was talking with our neighbor. Carmel was going to go, her husband Jeff was staying home. I twice offered to give Carmel a ride. She twice said she would drive herself. Imagine my surprise when I was standing inside Bob Evans and received a call from Carmel asking where I was! Obviously her recollection of our conversation was different than mine. I was quite embarrassed. But it was all OK. Everybody had a great time at the brunch.

Danita found a new bakery/deli in our area. Of course we had to try it out. We went there for Sunday breakfast this morning. Their food is very good, with generous size servings. We were commenting on how unusual it is to see chocolate covered baklava. The owner overheard us and brought us two, gratis. It was as unusual as it sounds. But the chocolate croissant, elephant ear, and quiche was all quite good. They have very good looking cakes. Many of the cakes come in a standard size or an “individual” size. The individual size looks big enough to satisfy us both. I’m thinking we might find an excuse to pick up a desert before long.

We’re having a neighborhood party this evening. We’re going to see a magician/comedian. I think it sounds like a natural combination of talents. We don’t know how good this guy is going to be, but I’m sure we’ll enjoy the wine and deserts.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
