Catching up on the week
Aug. 4th, 2005 07:56 amMonday after work I joined ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
saffronrose and mr_kurt in having dinner with Stephanie and her friend shadowriderhope who was visiting from Michigan. We ate at Cascal, a tapas restaurant on Castro St. in Mountain View. Wow! To food was amazing! We started with a sampler and then each ordered a dish or two, so we got to taste a lot of different things. My favorite was the serrrano ham wrapped around a date with a goat cheese slathered brochette. And the mushroom empanadas. And... well everything! The company was wonderful too. It was so nice meeting a new friend.
On Tuesday Russell, Brigid, Fiona and I had our monthly family dinner. Fiona was just back from her internship at the Guide Dog organization for which she raises puppies. Her internship was all office work though. *laugh* I think I had imagined her cleaning kennels or something more dog-related. She and Brigid had also toured southern California colleges - Whittier and a couple of the Claremont Colleges. Fiona isn't sure where all she'll apply, but she has now seen colleges in WA, OR and CA so she has a good idea what the possibilities are. She'll be starting her senior year in a couple of weeks. Eeep.
Russell and I had a nice Wednesday night. Our new cabinet for storing CDs and DVDs arrived. It looks like it will take a lot of assembly. We counted the parts and made sure everything is there. Maybe he and I and Erika will put it together on Friday afternoon. With that many hands perhaps it won't be that bad. We wished we knew someone we could hire to put it together but there is a dearth of teenagers with empty pockets in our lives. Not complaining really. *grin*
Tonight Erika will get here for a few days before she and Russell take off for Summer Camp.
