Monday, May 31

Last night I read Chocolat, almost finishing it while John worked on the
dishwasher. He found the problem and did a temporary fix but will need a
part. At least we got two loads cycled thru and no more dirty dishes
stacked up. (I think it would've been easier to hand wash the dishes...but
boys will be boys, even when they are grown men.) Getting back to Chocolat
the book...it is extremely well written. This is one of the few times I'm
glad I saw the movie before reading the book. It also helped to know that
the author switches back and forth between the narrative by Vianne and
Reynaud simply by starting a new chapter. Had I not been told this was the
case by Ann, who loaned me the book, I might've been slow to catch this the
first time it happened. Hope I can get a minute to finish it this
afternoon or evening.

I have a follow up appointment with the surgeon today. Mostly due to
traffic and distance, it is going to eat up the rest of the morning. Hope
to have time to take some photos after the surgeon's appointment across the
street in the hospital's courtyard "Healing Garrden." Lovely flowers are
at their peak of spring blooming season, and the trees are just begging for
my camera lense. Most of the garden is in a raised bed, with decorative
brass plaques.

Time to run!
