Wednesday evening we went to Cafe 210 for dinner.  That’s the fancy new name for the dining room in the apartment building where Richard’s mother lived.  For the first year we live here we get a dinner each and a lunch each every month.  Had to use up our December tickets, so we had lunch there today, too.

Did you have a good lunch?

Lunch was fine.  I’m not sure I’d pay to eat there often, but we’ll use the tickets for the “free” meals as long as they keep sending them.

At least it is worth the free price, some things aren't.

But was there lime gelatin?

I edited this post; even I found that this lime joke was in bad taste.

Alas, no.  I did have one of my favorite combos - cold pickled beets and cottage cheese.

I would not like lime gelatin, or jello, or any sweet food that is green.

I haven't had heebie-jeebies since Beebe's Bathysphere went under.

It's possible that I may have read somewhere that the Hall & Oates lyric "Don't even think about it, say no go" was once a response to a lime gelatin dinner.

I like the light brown M&Ms, then move on to the dark brown.  I am strange.

I haven't had lime jello in ages.  Sounds yummy!  Maybe with some grapes floating in it.

Brian, my friend and cleaning guy, came over yesterday, bringing me a grocery order from TJ’s, and then helping with the cleaning. Unbeknownst to me, he’s been doing some tech support at the property management office where he works. (He only cleans for me because we’re friends and he likes the extra money.) He, too, has Spectrum and even the same modem and router that they provided. He felt right at home with it and proceeded to set up the new equipment. We did have to call Spectrum, but got through right away and the rep was helpful. Tada! Wi-Fi!

I had no idea that Brian had tech skills. Questions come up from time to time and some are just answered more easily in person. I will definitely keep Brian in mind for these. He’s good at minor handyman stuff, too, and I often ask his help while he’s here.

While he cleaned I did laundry and some other cleaning. Then he fixed the hinge on the kitchen cabinet. It broke the day after the handyman was here. I’d like him to come over again in a month or so when I’ve gone through more of my neighbor’s stuff.

Congrats to DR Ginny and DH Richard on their pending home sale. Your house is lovely and spacious. Is the Ohio real estate market strong in general?

Such a help to already have moved into your new home, too.
