the chilly weather had given us a break and the sun had come out to play. if, that is, you put in the work. i had some additional and more specific hopes. i often think of how beautiful this country was before the europeans came. they chat a little, and decide to meet up. i am not looking for new customers nor do i own a business. i might just bite it and buy a new set. dinner was served as a buffet with a salad, a side dish, and the main course.
