Yesterday....
May. 30th, 2004 10:02 am...was beautiful. So beautiful. Liz and Allie and I took the bus down, in weird clothes (necessary). Folklife, meeting at the whales at noon and a half, eating cookies....Allie standing with "Money For Operation to Remove Seagull From Throat" sign and screaming seagull noises. Caitlin Golden! (I miss you!) Everyone showing up--Charlotte and Anneka and Simon and Chris and Joel and Rose and Hannah, later; having a poetry duel with the SCA-Renfaire lady (a draw till August, apparently). She quoted "When in disgrace" at me and then I quoted "Those lips that love's own hand did make" back at her, and then she dumped Joel, and then Allie did Puck and Anneka remembered Leonato and there was Chaucer spoken and all sorts of good things. I ate Pad Thai and an incredibly good crepe. We wandered about and saw many good people and performances and strawberry shortcakes and peopl putting tubes through their noses and out their mouth...I can't really explain how lovely Folklife is for me. But it makes me so happy...
And then all of us but Simon and Chris took the bus back to Hannah's house and made dinner. Doubly amazing. We put on music and all of us crowded in her kitchen (incidentally, her house is incredibly cool), making pasta and crazy salad and tomato and alfredo sauces and salad dressing from scratch, and there was chopped apples and brie cheese, and we were all doing various things and somehow it all worked. And we sat around her table and passed food around and talked about all sorts of things and this sort of thing really doesn't happen enough. It was beautiful, anyhow. We made scones after we cleared dinner and ate scones with tea. And then Charlotte left and all of us but her piled into Hannah's car (time to play the clown car game), four people squashed in the back and me on Hannah's lap up front, discovering what it's like to be tall.
I got home at eleven at night and was very, very happy.
I am staying home from Folklife today to write my "Quality in Education" paper but really I'm going to plot when we can do this next...
I love you all. Last night was splendid. Thank you. :)
