Vacation Feast

Fran, Mary and I had two great meals today. Fran arrived at lunch, and when Mary went to pick her up, they stopped at a farmer's market. For lunch, we had Amish potato salad (not quite sure what made it Amish, but it was good!) and BLT's made with the best tomatoes from the farmer's market. I commented that usually tomatoes are the weak link in the BLT but these were blood red, juicy, full of tomato taste... along with a glob of mayo, bacon and lettuce on toasted potato bread... it was delicious.

We relaxed, went outside, read, napped, did our own thing in the afternoon and then for dinner, we had grilled shrimp, Rice A Roni, tossed salad with Italian dressing and crumpled blue cheese and corn on the cob from the market. It really was delicious. All of it.

Then for dessert, we had bought an Angel Food cake, and Fran inserted a layer of fruit and then frosted it with Cool Whip and decorated it with peaches and rasberries. That, with a good cup of after dinner coffee... well, we were three happy girls.

More talk, more gabbing and now it's bedtime.

Tomorrow it's bagels and cereal and Fran and Mary are going to leave in early afternoon. We've had just a lovely, peaceful time.
