Today I am having my monthly lunch with daughter 'Eve'. I always drive to the town where she lives, and we eat at a restaurant there. I try to have lunch with all my daughters monthly, but that doesn't work with all of them. 'Kay' for instance, has a relatively new job, which is incredibly demanding and busy, and she does not feel like she can go out to lunch. That has been very surprising to me, until I recently read an article that confirmed that today's workers usually bring their lunch and eat at their desks, or over a meeting. The "hour off for lunch" no longer exists!
I do believe that I manage to see "Joy" about once a month, although she lives near NYC. Either she makes the trip up here, or we make the trip down there. "Lee" lives the closest, and we always have our monthly lunch in Ithaca, usually at the same place.
Today, I am taking some of the produce that I have from my garden to share with "Eve". I have a bumper crop of zucchini, for sure. Earlier in the season, I would not have believed those plants would have survived, much less have such a hearty yield!
The basket that I am taking to "Eve" contains zucchini, cucumbers, beets, kale, homemade pickles and zucchini chocolate cupcakes, all from my garden or kitchen.
I am proud of myself, and do hope she is pleased!
I am sure she will be!
