Whoohoo!!! A normal bed.

God was willing and the crick didn't rise, so my bed arrived this afternoon and was put together by two very professional men who made following directions and using tools into a ballet of expertise. And, quiet! Wendy and John didn't waken from afternoon naps. All my folding type clothes went into the two bunk drawers underneath.

I didn't take a picture of the other end of the room you will notice. Now for a desk top on the file cabinets, and some sort of chifforobe/armoire/wardrobe to hang up a few items and store the remaining stuff now decorating the floor.

John received four tickets to the Phillies/Diamondback game in Philly tonight. We all insisted Wendy go. She was reluctant and saying I should be the one since I like baseball, but we all insisted she go along. Phillies are losing, but the game got more interesting with Phillies scoring three runs Keoni texted to me, but I don't know what inning it is. Couldn't master the TV to watch the game.

The television here is great if you can figure out how to turn it on. Remotes are the truly sorry end of the electronic world. At any rate, I would have an internal struggle to honestly root for the Phillies after a lifetime commitment to the Cardinals. Maybe if the Cards come here I'll go to a game. Keoni texts that Aidan is secretly rooting for the D'backs. while he, himself, is enjoying conflict and food.

I enjoyed helping John make the breakfast (actually brunch) today. We had lots of food and topped it off with remains of the peach cobbler I made yesterday.

No one has found the box with the kitchen cutlery in it so we do everything with two paring knives. I did bring along Grandma Steinbach's bread knife, still excellent after generations of use. It will be interesting using a paring knife to make slaw out of the 10 inch diameter head of cabbage from Lancaster County tomorrow. That is to go with the fried chicken planned for the evening meal. I will slice up juicy tomatoes as well. Maybe even go so far as to make some potato salad. Definitely making limeade. Oh, yes, I used lime zest in the peach cobbler. I haven't figured out tomorrow's dessert, but Aidan is such a fan, I must come up with a Sunday dessert, for sure.
