Just Another Weekend

The weekend literally zoomed by. Grocery Shopping on Saturday: that dismal part of the weekend where you go again to one of the “other lives” you live through out your lives. The market, the same parking place, the same list, getting the same item: gallon of milk, eggs, four cans of evaporated milk, four cans of pickled peppers, bananas, onions and this week frozen tamales. There’s always a little deviation some times chips some times pop and this week I purchased a double sided DVD Dirty Dozen and Kelly’s Heroes. I am going to purchase a new film every paycheck in an effort to build up my film collection.

Jin is a special friend of Dianne’s, Jin is Chinese and quite a character. Jin is married to an anglo by the name of Dan and he is quite a character as well. Jin just got back from Beijin, where she keeps a house (now—long story) so they came over for tea and photos and gifting. We spent Sunday morning doing a crash house clean-very topical. Floors swept, majority of dishes washed, doors closed to all rooms not to be used and the main bathroom scrubbed. Dining room table cleaned clear and chairs dusted. This was enough for the guests. Dianne even put together a fruit salad . We had a good and long visit and resolved to get together before too long for dinner out. The date sounds fun an fine but I doubt will ever happen. Like cleaning the house we tend to do things we are forced into. If there is no force we just hide away behind our doors and wait, wait and wait.
