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

before we went in to the kitchen for picture taking and then took pictures below their sign before Sarah and Suzanne expressed some feelings about the desserts that we ordered and we went home to watch Bridget Jones on The Edge of Reason.
