Monday morning, the sunny side of Sarah's eggs
the glow of the cereal boxes
and the beauty of the fruit
as we melted the butter
made us hope that this puzzle wouldn't take so much attention
but as Sarah assembled egg mcmmuffins of a sort
and Jane showed her wet hair (and Tour de France shirt)
it became clear that Sarah
and Ben had the right attitude about the day
even as Suzanne emerged from the shower
and we headed to Foodies where this space was reserved for the foodies among us
as we entered the store
to discover that although they had many things
and we could get these good sandwiches
they were out of meats and would be for days, maybe weeks and so we had to get a little bite of Italy
in this nice wrapper
before coming back to the post office
where Jane mailed Sarah's movie back to Netflix
and as Suzanne ate her sandwich,
we went into the video store to assemble this collection of movies since we had discovered that they were 1 way (or infinite day) rentals at $2 a pop.
Back at home, it was Arizona Iced Tea
Ben's cheese steak
and Boca burgers for me
as the brownies
alternated with the completed burger
but then the brownie
gave way to these cars that arrived for just a moment (as though they were leaving contraband in the rental below ours)
as we turned to serious viewing of Get Over It
as Jane
and Suzanne seemed to sleep
and then Dim Sum
while I finished first my book
and then my puzzle
so that we could have a celebratory dinner (though we would have much preferred to celebrate the end of rain) at The View
where Suzanne
placed her order with our waitress who could handle us because she taught 3rd grade in the regular year
and Ben
Sarah
Jane
and I
were ready for our drinks
as the bread was served
and then our main courses
