the days are so long now, and the birds are constantly singing. we've really been enjoying the spring.
it's especially nice to have sunday dinner while it's still light outside. korrina joined us this evening. she has more time on her hands these days as the owner of her restaurant sold the business. she and her co-workers were very upset as they all got along so well and had a wonderful customer base. the general manager even made an offer, but unfortunately it wasn't as high as the first offer. now they are all out of work. one or two of them may have something lined up for the summer, but i think most are going on unemployment for awhile; korrina included. she says she'll sign up this week.
we had a delicious dinner of farm chicken, kale salad, and brussel sprouts sauteed in garlic; followed by a game of bananagrams with dessert (homemade coconut sorbet). morgana was off helping at the tap recital.

The window decoration is lovely. Poor Korrina, is that the same restaurant you all went to for Mother's Day? Is bananagram similar to Scrabble? Our college bookstore sells it, but I always thought it didn't look so different from Scrabble.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is the same restaurant. It's sad, really. It's always business that wins out, it seems. Money . . . whoever can give more money. She's just taking it slow, right now . . maybe doing some thinking about the next step. I think all of them were just so surprised; they're all trying to recover!
DeleteBananagrams is similar to Scrabble, but the game moves along more quickly. After one person wins, we like to continue until the next person, and so on. It's fun. It feels more like a group game with everyone working at the same time.
Are there any points involved?
Deletehmmmm . . . so far we haven't played with points, but you probably could. i should check the rules . . . !
DeleteSo sorry to read this news. The food looked wonderful and Korrina seemed really happy, no wonder she is shaken by the whole thing. Mind you she has many talents I am sure something else will appear, you know the saying "as one door closes, a window opens!"
ReplyDeletethank you, san. it's true, i do believe as you say. i do hope korrina sees that too. she's torn between finding another job right away, or taking some time to think about things and maybe go to ferry beach this year (a unitarian universalist camp in maine which she attended every summer all through her teen years). i think i would like her to go to maine . . we'll have to see.
