I lectored at mass, all about love.
Frank yelled at Peter just terribly at the Austrian American meeting. I'm sure that really made an impression on John McGinnes' guest. Any more and I was ready to walk out.
Peter followed me home for the pot luck. The dining room was full. My shrimp were done perfectly, and very delicious. Peter and Wayne Smith had a good conversation about the Jaguar Wayne restored. They had a lot in common, even though Wayne is almost deaf.

I drove Charlotte and Jackie to Grace Presbyterian Church for Charlotte's Garden Club dinner and meeting. We sat at tables arranged in a square and had a very nice dinner prepared by the members. A Master Gardener from Racine/Berlington, also of the American Herb Society gave a presentation on cooking with garden herbs. There were some practical and doable dishes and beverages using all of our locally grown herbs, some that I have grown and used. I hope that Charlotte is able to get some of the recipes.

The trip to the WA Farmers Market was canceled due to rain. I think it's too early to go. It rained most of the day, sometimes very hard.
I played sheepshead and read at mass.
A few of us watched "The Boys in the Boat"; I read the book, but missed the movie when it was shown in theaters. I'm glad that I could watch it and almost completed a shawl doing so.

The prospects do not look good for a happy Mother's Day. Janice announced that Laura will host all family gatherings. That did not sit too well with Laura, to be commanded. Laura is refusing. Claude struck a compromise and suggested that we each order something light I didn't mind that idea, and neither did Janice. She suggested ordering from Sendik's, but Laura didn't care to do that. Jay was going to make Danish sandwiches; he said he'd make some for Peter and me. Then, Janice said that Brad is putting in an order for turkey with the trimmings. Everyone was in agreement with that, including Laura.

Another beautiful symphony with a wonderful violinist and Dvorak's New World. We left Bradley Center to a pretty cold day.
I'm engrossed in "The Fall of Giants" by Ted Follett. It's very long.

I picked up a CD for Charlotte at the Shorewood Library and then drove to Kohl's on Hwy 100 to look for some navy pants to go with the filmy top. I found the perfect pair, also a colored top to match my multi-colored jacket and some sun glasses. Then I had my hair done. I picked up gift cards for Claude and Janice and headed home.
In the evening Peter and I met Brad and Claude for Janice's concert at the Grafton HS. Beautiful music with many classics celebrating their 50 years as a chorus.
