Half Way to Octoberfest

 Saturday, April 6

My new neighbor Linda came down for breakfast, and a nice group filled the table; we needed an extension. I had my hair cut.  Next to drop off Charlotte's audio disc at the Franklin Library.  I wanted a basil plant, but the ones at P & S on 76th and Rawson looked limp and brown.  Sendik's on Rawson were very nice.  I used so much energy looking for things in an unfamiliar store.  I would never have found sun dried tomatoes without help. I was pretty worn out when I reached my car.  Then drive home, unpack and put everything away.

Peter and I went to the Bavarian Bierhaus to celebrate "half way to Octoberfest".  We tasted the tapped beer and had half steins of our own.  I had a Bavarian wiener, Peter had some sausage.

Peter came over to try his Spanish disk in his laptop.  It is a very nice learning tool for Spanish words.
