Last weekend of summer

I found this new blog called 'Lilly's life' via Barbara Blundell's blog, she has this funny post about the Mona Lisa. She also has a deep and insightful post about aging. I'm going to add her to my list of blogs that I follow.

Well, it's the last weekend of summer and it's supposed to be lovely and warm, as we welcome the fall. L just gave us a surprise call from Washington DC, the tour company gave them all a free 10 minute long distance card. She's having fun but it's tiring. She's more of a 'lay on the beach and relax' kind of girl.

This evening M, K and I are meeting a some friends at a nice Indian restaurant in the area. It will be good to catch up with them. This friend is still tentative about Indian food, hope she'll like it, we do. K likes dunking the naan flatbread in sauce. He also eats the crust off the samosa appetizers.

One of the contractors says his 17 year old son just failed his driving test for about the 6th time, poor kid. He'll just have to keep trying. They're finishing up the drywalling today and next week will be dusty as they apply compound and sand. We turned the furnace off so it doesn't suck up too much dust but hopefully it won't get too cold at night.
