A Sunny Spring Warm Monday

So I had the strangest experience this morning; 

it was really frustrating.

Basically we had our car towed for not starting

and the tow truck dude was a bit rude/presumptuous/lacking in manners

but it has left me bewildered and wondering what happened.

I wish in the end that my husband had been home

as I was totally lost with it and very upset... 

well it's over now I guess...

*

Our car will be better soon and it was nothing serious.

*

I had the most wonderful Sunday.

*

A long time email penpal blog friend from

Australia who I have been writing

emails to for years now

came with her sister to visit NYC and other cities

in the States. 

*

So I put on a dinner party,

one I had been planning for months...

I will do separate posts on the dinner party itself... D.V.

I made a strawberry lemon cake....

It turned out well ... I want to keep experimenting though,

as I am looking for a more moist fluffy cake,

this one was more flat/dense though still tasty... 

I washed all the dishes, save the forgotten tea pots,

last night after the dinner, so that Monday started with

everything getting in better order... 

Later today, Monday, I switched out all my red

lampada oil lamps for my clear glass ones... 

I enjoyed leftovers for lunch...

*

It was a busy day, today was also doing laundry,

getting some things cleaned and ready for the week,

putting things away in the pantry...

*

Soon Mr. Husband will be home.

I hope we both sleep well tonight

as both our Mondays were a bit 

exhausting...

and tomorrow we both go into NYC,

me for an eye appt, him to work, 

and I will lunch with a friend and I hope, 

oh I hope!

go to Purl Soho at long last.
