The shopping was particularly satisfactory because I finally bought a stereo which Miriam was kind enough to set up for me. I've been listening to a lot of classic vocal jazz lately like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, etc., and a collection of those happens to be the only CD that was present in the apartment this evening. (The rest are freezing in the car.) So after the small party we came home, lit candles in the living room, shared my soft new red chenille afghan (scored on the same shopping trip), listened to that one recording, and talked until pretty late.
I'm determined to get up and go to church tomorrow morning, so I need to get to bed now. Tomorrow will be the end of Miriam's visit and will bring the beginning of a pretty hectic schedule. So I'll talk to you all later.
