There were cheese and chocolate fondues and lots of things to dip. They also gave Crystal a fondue pot of her own, and a cookie sheet β a somewhat self-serving gift, because Crystal brings the cookies she makes in to work.
A busy day back at work after the long weekend. After lunch at Uno , I took Linda to Staples where she picked up a new chair for her desk in the kitchen. Last night I was awakened to a scrabbling sound, and woke up to find something on my pillow. I leapt out of bed and turned the light on. Sitting in the middle of the pillow, nibbling on it unconcernedly, was a mouse. He seemed completely unperturbed by my movements and the light. He calmly continued nibbling as I opened the door and gave him a pillow ride outside.
I finally had to push him off the pillow to get him to say goodbye. So I downloaded a journal writing application to see whether or not I can use it, combined with Dragon Dictation in order to make it easy to create a journal and include pictures of what I do everyday. Last weekend a thunderstorm snapped off some of the dead trees in front of our house. These are some shots I took around the house. Dani departed ahead of us, on Tuesday, July 29th, with her school group.
Linda and I departed on Delta through Atlanta. A wonderful day. Our group was one of two that got to ride on the top of the open bus and sing as the Cavalcade paraded down the main streets of Edinburgh. They had a great sound system on the bus plus microphones and we had a few tracks that Peter our sound guy had recorded after the last rehearsal at Trinity.
The crowd clapped along while they sang Comedy Tonight while some of our ensemble gave out post cards advertising our show. After that we performed on the the Royal Mile, our group sang a few songs and successfully attracted a nice crowd to perform to. Last night was a big dance pronounced Kaley, even though it is not at all spelled like that.
