Day 318
It's one of those rainy Saturdays when there isn't much light to be found anywhere, and you can't imagine doing much more than laundry and maybe cuddling up with a good book.
Well, the laundry must get done, so that's started already, but I don't foresee much book cuddling in my near future. Today, we have not one but two parties to attend, one after the other, so despite the soggy rain, sunshine indoors will reign!
First up is my brother's annual Saint Patrick's celebration. Think shamrocks and other fun decorations around an inviting living room scene, and a kitchen nearby filled with foods of all kinds. Fresh corned beef and cabbage, of course, but I tend to gravitate first to the never-ending plate of homemade Reuben sandwiches my brother makes. Yum!
After leaving his house out in Lake Ronkonkoma (Suffolk County, Long Island), we drive back toward home in Nassau County and down to the beach! A friend of ours has a nice condo in a building right on the boardwalk, so he's got a beautiful view of the ocean from his balcony. Charlie can't host huge parties, but there's always a nice, small bunch of us who get together for one of his delicious home-cooked meals. Usually a post-holiday party, this year he's calling it a post-post-holiday party, since we never managed to do this any sooner.
So yes, a rainy day ahead, but lots of light and joy to be found indoors from place to place, and I'm very much looking forward to all of it! I might even try to find myself a small piece of pi.
