Another good day: friends, food, and music. All good.

I managed finally to get in touch with _amethyst_fire_ -- we're supposed to have lunch today. It will be good to finally meet her.

Colleen called and said that she can now get in and out of her van unassisted -- no walker, and no need for someone to help with her legs. Yay!!

Before dinner we went to Snapdoodle Toys, where Naomi got her monster a couple of weeks ago. She'd seen a wonderful dragon there that she thought would be perfect for Colleen. It'll have to be a carry-on. but I can manage. It is indeed a wonderful toy store.

Dinner was at Preservation Kitchen Excellent. Definitely going there with Colleen; they have a grilled scallop appetizer and a wonderful caprese salad. Yum to the max.

We ended the evening with a fairly serious Tempered Glass rehearsal -- Gentle Arms, The River, A Healing In This Night, Hymn. We're really finding our voice as a group. Go us!
