Miser Family Update: Borrowed and time edition

Shrimp Quesadillas and Salmon at the culinary institute

Life continues to be rich and full in the Miser Family.   The week kicked off with my husband's very, very, very favorite day of the year:  the day the clocks spring forward.  Yay! Because, biking late in the day in sunshine!  Which he did that very Sunday, and many other days this week, despite the wind and cold that also accompanies mid March.

I trimmed N-son's hair this week.   The only reason that's even worth mentioning is that, when he was hunting around on the internet for "black boy haircuts" I could give him, one of the images was his own head -- a dragon haircut I'd carved on his scalp when he was, I dunno, 10 years old, and that I'd posted on my blog.  He decided not to repeat that design this time, however; instead I gave him a lightning bolt over one ear.

Awkward lunch selfie.  

Mid-March means spring break for me, and I celebrated by (a) catching up on committee work, (2) catching up on sleep by taking daily naps, (also) catching up on seeing several friends.  [Plus, math. Yay for math inspiration!]  I had a good friend come over for dinner with I-daughter early in the week; the next day several of us (I-daughter and N-son and I) went to visit a former student who, together with his wife, has 5-month-old twins.  (Twins, I should add, who have delicious toes.   I love me baby toes!)  And also delicious was a lunch later in the week at N-son's culinary arts school.    And we rounded out the week with dessert at our church care group.



To get to all these places this week was a bit more of a challenge than usual because our car, still recovering from having slipped into a ditch a few weeks ago, is in the body shop waiting for a new bumper.  Well, waiting for an old junk-yard bumper, because the car *is* a 2001 prius, after all, but a new-to-it bumper.  We were fortunate to have friends who loaned us cars for two of the more distant trips, and we're even more fortunate that we can bike to nearby places, in spite of the wind and the cold.  So hoorah for friends, and for yummy food, and also for sunshine late in the day. 

Happy diners.

And that's the news from the Miser Family, which continues to be wealthy in our adventures.  May you and yours be similarly prosperous.
