Food And A Book

It has cooled off a lot here very fallish. I baked a lemon poppy seed loaf. It is so delicious if I do say so myself. 

           Another fun afternoon of mahjong. They passed around these very fancy cookies. Great with tea.

I have an exercise class called bone builders. Today one of the instructors announced she has breast cancer and will be out for awhile. This is a woman who follows all the conventional wisdom of good food and exercise. And yet she did not escape cancer. So why do we bother? I opened a bag of chips and am enjoying them where normally I would I would give them a pass. Just feeling pretty sad about it all. 

I had this book recommended. I find it very slow. 

I am halfway through so I will continue. I was told I need to read Theo of Golden next, now to find it I think it is very popular.

We have the granddog for the next few days. 

We will stay close to home, the area will be very busy this holiday weekend. 

 On to fall!
