This week just sort of disappeared. I can’t say it flew by because some of it was downright boring and slow. Most of the week was just plain ordinary.

Although it started on such a good note: some of the best beef mushroom barley soup I have ever made in my life. The best soup ever. Some good cheap beef, a big pile of mushrooms, some onions, some carrots, a whole lotta carrots actually, some celery, a good dash of thyme, salt and pepper…. and good shot of a plain red wine. Later, soup fit for the culinary gods.

Unfortunately for them – I didn’t invite them to dinner.

I thought about the new quilt. I played with a totally different project. I read some of my favorite books. I listened to a work by Beethoven I wasn’t familiar with (you can hear a bit here (requires iTunes). I thought about work and what is important in life. I had a brush with the stupidity and incompetence that is the government.

So here it is Friday again and none too soon.

And a big shout-out to our local Town Clerk who was still at her desk tonight as I drove past and who notarized the form that I needed notarized again. Thanks Rita!
