I left here just before 11:30 and no sooner than that I hit a traffic snag on 95. Between Orange and west Haven. As usual people tried to cut in on the lanes, I saw one motorcycle acting like an evil Knievel wanna be.

I arrived at Gills by 12:15. We had time to talk with each other. She liked the shoes, and so did Murph. I had to hide them where he couldn't reach.

After a time Stephanie, Faith, Paula, and Damien arrived. The order doesn't matter, and it's not important. We dedicated the following hours to preparing pompoms for the table decorations and reviewing the caterers' schedule. They have a few people coming to do all that.

Around 3 or so Damien and I left. Stephanie left before 2 due to several reasons, including knee pain. I headed to the Big Y in North Branford and went shopping.

It took me maybe an hour or so. I got a lot of things it came to 187. I would later discover (after looking at the recipes) that I forgot some stuff. I will have to get them while I am doing laundry or after tomorrow. I am trying to decide now if I will do the chili first or the chicken stew. Some chicken kabobs remain frozen. I need more kabobs for the dish.

On the way home I stopped at DQ for their pumpkin Ice cream. It was good but for some reason I was expecting something spectacular. Although it did not meet my expectations, I ate it.

The drive home was lighter than it had been this morning. I was able to call Mama and Papa. They were on their way home from visiting their family in Colorado and just crossing the state line into Utah. They are spending the night in one of the towns and then getting home in a day or so.

Since I have been home, fed sky, myself, and rechecked the recipes and started another list. I had a final cup of coffee but I still feel tired.

So good night.
