Day 56 Quiet Day for The Social Butterflies

I slept in all the way to 7:30 this morning, and Del got up a little after 8.  All this galavanting around is tiring.  I worked on my classes for Wednesday and then curled up on my spot on the sofa to read and nap.  Del worked on our taxes.  Dave and Tracy have been scanning and emailing all the things that had not come when we left home.

I made us each a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion and mustard for lunch.  Boy was it good.  Funny how the idea of a hamburger can be so appealing to someone who rarely eats one.  If I could only have found some regular potato chips at the little Iki.  They sell them here.  I just have to find them, or maybe I should just forget about it. 

It was really nice here today.  We really enjoyed the walk to church this afternoon.  I actually broke down and wore something more springy.  I had resisted temptation because I figured the sooner I started wearing warmer weather stuff, the sooner I would be sick of it, too.

  The minister of the day at church was conservative to the extreme, but since they rotate, we can manage.   We find it interesting that these people are drawn to the same religioius college but  run the gamut from way too conservative for us to  more liberal types.  We particularly enjoy a retired couple from Muskingham  College.   We had dinner with them after church tonight at the Thai place.

We had a nice chat during the social time after church with two young women from Moldavo.  I mentioned Nicoletta in a previous blog, but I had not talked with Alexandra.  The both speak beautiful English and worked at the IHOP in Williamsburg last summer.  They will be doing the same again this summer, so if you see two beautiful dark haired young women in IHOP who have slight accents, ask them if they go to college in Lithuania.  I told them that all our friends were good tippers, by the way.    I want to ask more about how they ended up in Williamsburg when I see them next Sunday.  I think it has something to do with Nicoletta translating for a church group that came to Moldavo.  I know that's how she happened to go to Georgia.

I forgot to mention that Skype has really good picture quality.  We got to see Rosa's missing tooth spot last night.

A FB friend from Emporia mentioned something about FB beginning to use profile pictures in ads.   Frankly, I don't know what that means.  If you don't want that to happen, and Lord knows I don't want my pictures going out any more than I can help, go to Account, hit account setting, hit facebook ad setting and activate no one. 

The door bell rang this afternoon and when I opened it there stood neighbor Darious with two steaming cups of Polish hot chocolate.  He had just gotten home from a few days there and wanted us to try it.  Yum!!  It was like the chocolate we have gotten here with milk added.

Tomorrow I need to study Lithuanian, finish my work for my classes, go over to the Iki for a few things and do some laundry. 

Have a good week!
