The end of a perfect day, no drama, no email blah blah just good solid work, celebrate Evi’s birthday, help a friend with what could have been a difficult meeting and then dinner on Stowe Ln.

Dinner on Stowe Ln was delicious.  A kale/zucchini/squash/onion stir-fry with noodles and an Asian flair. Don’t remember exactly when dinner on Stowe Ln started.  Probably sometime after Cookie died and we needed to get Kathy out of the house.  What a wonderful weekly ritual we’ve established, especially when Martina cooks, delisioso!  It’s usually just four women eating a wonderful home cooked meal and sharing the stuff of life.  There are many many laughs and sometimes a few frets but all in all a much needed sharing of food, drink and stories.

Then home to my girls.  Tonight was a beautiful night on the deck.  It’s been so hot you couldn’t escape the air conditioning without feeling smothered and soaked after just a minute.  But tonight…a warm but dry night with a bit of a breeze was just perfect.  Pour a glass of red, grab the IPad and out on the deck we go.  Perfect.
