We are determined to take our guests out for dinner. This is our new routine. Our friends are invited for dinner at the time selected by me, then when they arrive at our apartment, they come up and we chat for a while. Soon I announce that we are dining out, so we all drive over together in my car. I keep the restaurant a surprise. It doesn't take much to amuse me as you can tell. Tonight we dined at a lovely little French restaurant on Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda. Fred and Phyllis had never eaten there but Ken and I have been there many times. This year is the 29Th anniversary, so they were celebrating. Three courses and wine for $29. The food was delicious. Then we came home for tea and conversation. I must say that it is a lovely way to entertain. No fuss and no muss.
Tonight, Vinal Smith called to say that he tilled up our garden in Nova Scotia. In fact, Vinal and Betty are planting a garden in our place by the shore. In the Fall, they used sea weed to fertilize the soil and now they have prepared the land for planting. I am excited to have our own vegetables in our own garden. They have a small but productive garden in their own place so we suggested they may want to plant potatoes and corn and squash and pumpkins in our land. At first they were reluctant to use our land,but when they saw the fertile soil they too got excited. Betty hates weeds so maybe she will weed our fish pond area along with their vegetable garden. Ken has learned to tolerate weeds, but not Betty. She weeds her own garden every day. Now we look forward to their efforts this summer in Nova Scotia.
