So...I got to Karen's house just as she was putting the finishing touches on shining up her red Corvette for our drive to the townhouse model. Yes, it was a thrill to be in that car. We met Bonnie in her red Mini Cooper. The construction workers must have thought we were all that! The house is wonderful! Everything about it is nice and I can't wait to see how Karen meshes her collections in the house's many crooks and crannies. After touring the house, we walked to a nearby restaurant for an outdoor lunch. It was another brilliantly beautiful day. We ordered three dishes and split them. I'd go back tomorrow if I could, that's how great the food was. I think we each had a different favorite. We parted ways with Bonnie, then Karen and I took the back roads home. I trusted her with going fast on the curves, although Karen? I did close my eyes at times. I got home right before Emily, which I like to do, then went to the pool. Karen lent me the serial, The Green Mile, and I read the first book while I was there. It was so hot, but the water was too cold. Still, it was good to just relax and read. We had leftover pizza for dinner on the deck, then I was off for my walk, then my bike ride. Whew. I just came in from sitting on the front porch. The momma robin was complaining the whole time, but I ignored her. Finally she flew to her nest to feed her very large birds. After she left, one fell out! It walked over and into my garden area. I didn't know what to do, so I went inside so the momma could come back. I just looked out, and don't see the baby anywhere. I guess this is what happens. I was thinking they'd be out of the nest any day now. I'm amazed that 4 big birds even fit in it. They really don't...that's why the one fell out. I just hope I don't find a dead bird in my garden tomorrow.
