Lunch
Beautiful Downtown Boonville
When I woke up the next day, it gladdened my Grinchy heart to peek over the driftwood railings at Jessica, sleeping peacefully on the couch in her fuzzy skeleton PJs. I sneakily fed the cats and made coffee, following my usual weekend routine of drinking coffee in bed with the cats while reading and answering my fan mail.
Jessica awoke in due course, packed up her things and slipped into a little black dress:
She got it at a thrift shop – I think it’s a Calvin Klein. She is accessorized by a little black cat. Clyde goes with everything.
Megan, Erica, and I conferred by text and decided to meet up at Julie and Darius’ lovely emporium in the heart of Boonville for lunch. In my case, it was a BLT made with local bacon, greens, and heirloom tomatoes along with spicy sweet potato fries:
It was nice to sit in the shade at the wooden picnic table while enjoying the view:
After lunch, we poked around the shops. I was charmed by these shoes in an antique shop:
Unfortunately, they were too small to fit my wicked stepsister sized feet, and as usual, my head was too giant for the charming hats, once again making me wonder how my head can be so big when it only has to house two underemployed brain cells.
It was nice to meander around town together, and I have to admit it made me sad when we parted ways, knowing that the final parting is looming next month. I can feel the beating of its black wings.
A YEAR AGO: Storing the potatoes we grew. The storage did not turn out exactly as expected, due to the buckets of sand strongly resembling litterboxes in a house full of cats. Lesson learned.
FIVE YEARS AGO: Back home after a lovely trip to LA.
TEN YEARS AGO: Watching the catspat.

So glad you had another great time with your friends, I know they are leaving shortly but the memories you guys have shared throughout the years will stay and help until you see them again in the near future. Jessica is now grown into a young woman and she will need to see you of that I am certain. Thanks for the update and photos are great as usual.
