Today, Kim made dinner. She's a traveling nurse who will be here for three or four months. This afternoon, she arrived laden with shopping bags from various stores in Bellevue.
The thing about living here is if someone is cooking and someone else walks past the kitchen, a dinner party is about to break out. The dinner that started out for two ended up dinner for six. And, boy howdy, it was just wonderful.

At 4:00, we thought we would be eating on the back deck. By 6:00, it was too cold. The dining room table was cleared of my sit-upon project for Linsi's wedding reception; plates were placed, napkins folded, wine glasses filled and toasts all around.
What a lovely day.
Friends around the dinner table.
