The temperature rose higher than expected so that precipitation will fall mostly as rain overnight and tomorrow. The icy bits on the ground melted a bit leaving pools of water on walkways. Housework kept me busy through the day, readying things for an evening dinner party. The friends who help take care of my boy when I'm away joined me for a Chinese takeout dinner. One brought an amazing rum cake -- much like a Caribbean black cake -- for dessert. It was truly amazing. The cake and the rum it is aged in are made at the Fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton. We had a fun evening with lots of laughter and good conversations.
Friends who are willing to be there when you need assistance are amazing. Help doesn't come from everyone, but those few who show up are real friends. I've been lucky in all my various locations to have people who offer assistance sometime even before being asked. Animal and house care when traveling for work or vacation brings anxiety. Yet, there are many others in need of similar help when they are away. So, here a small group from campus came together to exchange house and animal sitting as needed. We often go out for lunch or supper after someone returns home, but I chose to try something a bit more relaxed and it seemed to have worked well. All seemed to enjoy the time together.
Song lyrics that highlight the special aspects of friendship seemed appropriate for today. This version is sung by a trio of performers, which suits the lyrics well. Enjoy!
