Who Knew?

Hello,

Leroy was in the room with the desk in it when he said, “Come look at this!”

A squirrel had jumped onto the screen showing us its lovely belly. In a little bit it hopped off onto the overhang above the front steps. I had no idea the animal would do such a thing or that the screen could hold its weight. The squirrels certainly feel at home around here with no danger except from ineffective humans.

We had company last night. Leroy had asked if there were any foods that they did not like. The answer was onions and mushrooms. I remember erroneously onions and garlic. But we did not serve onions either. I decided to do a meatless meal and serve kushari minus the onions with a side salad. We learned that the woman who came has an enzyme deficiency. She is unable to eat any raw foods. She mostly eats a lot of meat as many vegetables are not good for her. She did drink some apple cider, but no salad. Apparently something in the meal did bother her a little, but she was alright. Had I known about the importance of meat I could have done it. We had a nice visit otherwise. They have a girl who is less than two years old and it was fun to get to know her. I did “This little piggy went to market…”  She had to help by tugging off her socks. We still have some toys around here. It was nice to have something for her. And we cleaned before they came, how is that for preparation? Leroy even came home early and used the vacuum. Nice to have the help! I thought I was ahead of schedule, but that turned out not to be, on time, but not early.
