JPK

John came to town and took me out to lunch. We had a delicious lunch at the Grand Carlyle in Shirlington.
Here we are standing in my front yard.

It is always wonderful when old friends come to town!

Friend Sue came to town and we met for coffee at Politics and Prose, a great place for two Democrats to have a stimulating chat about politics and other important matters!

Rosencrantz

Arthur, Kate, and I went to the Folger to see a spectacular production of "Rosencrantz and Guldenstern are Dead."

Before going to the theater, we had a delicious lunch at the Sonoma Wine Bar. I had the most delicious omelette that I have ever had in my entire life. It was filled with ricotta. Yum!

DCEC Discovers a New Museum

The DC Explorers Club (formerly known as the DCDC) visited the Textile Museum on the GWU campus. We viewed the "Unraveling Identity: Our Textiles, Our Stories " exhibit and were entranced. Here are a photos of a few pieces.

After viewing the exhibit, we walked a few blocks to the Circa restaurant and had a wonderful lunch. Unfortunately, Mary was unable to join us because of a major snafu on the Metro system.

We began with a Wild Mushroom Flatbread: arugula, pesto, truffle oil, Gruyere, and Parmesan cheese. Excellent!
