Weekly Update 12/10/2017

The week started off busy with a walk at the Y, a book club meeting at the library, and a concert. I was only able to walk twice this week because it’s been too rainy and cold (and that is a great excuse to sit inside and read!). Book club hosted a visit from a local author. I had read both her books, but quite a while ago, and they weren’t memorable, so I was rather lost. But I enjoyed listening to her speak. The Savannah Voice group gave a wonderful concert at the Westin. They are the group that performed the opera and DH a few weeks ago. The singing was delightful!

I went out to run errands on Tuesday afternoon. As I was out driving down Skidaway Road on my way back home, it occurred to me that Auspicious Bakery would be open. I have heard so many wonderful things about this place, but it’s only open on Sunday mornings starting a 6 am (never gonna happen) and Tuesday afternoons beginning at 2 pm. The timing was right, so I stopped. OMG! They specialize in breads, but also have crackers, croissants, focaccia bread, cookies, brownies, and lots of early great stuff. I got a loaf of pepperoni bread (which was still warm when I got home!) and a chocolate raspberry croissant. Not cheap, but worth the cost.

Barbara and I went out for a late breakfast to Clary’s one morning. She had never been there, and I haven’t been in a long time. It was a breakfast place downtown that is well known to readers of The Book, as some characters were found to frequent this place. The omelet was good.

The 90 hosts a holiday party on a Friday in December for the people who are “regulars” at the bar. I consider myself to be a regular, because I’m there almost every Friday night all year. It includes a buffet of hot and cold appetizers, and is usually very good. This year, because chef Jim is in Wales visiting Dave and Lisa, the food wasn't as creative or tasty. But I was able to get a lot down.

I tried to begin doing Christmas cards. When I looked for my file, it’s gone. Don’t know where it went, but I can’t find it. I have no idea who I sent cards to last year, who I received cards from, or the addresses of some people that I only communicate with only once a year. I may just scrap the whole thing this year, or try to begin again. I’ll decided when I'm no longer as angry about being so stupid that I lose entire documents.

I didn’t go to Coach’s on Sunday, because I was doing a tour at BC. I would have loved to be there, not only because they won, but because the weather was AWFUL. It was a great reminder of why I wanted to move south. I saw some pictures online, and it made me warm just looking at them.
