Ali didn’t get to come home until Tuesday morning because she’s been so busy working at her new job. They were very busy over the holiday weekend. She’s been slicing and dicing and plating salads and desserts and she has the battle scars to prove it. She showed me all the nicks in her palms and she has a really nasty slice from a lobster. Yes, she wears gloves when she works but they’re for sanitary reasons…not for safety.

I’ve had to do all the cooking here at home since Ali started her new job and you’ll be happy to know I’ve only started one tiny oven fire since she moved out.

I have a Masonism for you this week:

Mason (age 3) was sitting next to me, sucking on his finger. I asked him what he was doing because he’s not a thumb- or finger-sucker. He smiled, put his wet finger near my ear, and said, “I’m gonna give you a Dead Willy!”

Hugs to all!

Angela
