Friday (Again)

When Megan came home from PT, I was working on laundry. She said we needed to go grocery shopping so I should get dressed, but I plopped down on the couch and asked for "just a few minutes" to doze. I fell fast asleep. I'm not sure how long I was out, but I woke up startled, not knowing where I was or what day or time it was. I looked around and discovered that Meg, too, had taken a nap. Apparently, I needed it.

By the time I was dressed and presentable, it was probably about 3:00. We drove (not far) to Palo Alto (of Stanford University fame) to go to the Elizabeth Gamble Gardens. (Gamble...as in Proctor and Gamble.) The house (huge) and gardens were donated to Palo Alto after Ms. Gamble's death in the 80s. We were definitely in the high rent district! I was more impressed with the other houses in the area than I was with the gardens, which were quite nice. While there, I saw a hummingbird and black squirrels eating magnolia tree blossoms. Can't spend too long in those places before envy arrives!

After the gardens, we shopped for some groceries, then picked Denis up, then stopped at another store for some other things. Home for their traditional homemade pizza and a movie.

I'm still tired. I think the week has caught up with me!
