Little visitor

My sister and her family moved last week, so she and my niece came and stayed with me for a few days.  She did remote school from my spare room, and had lunch from 12-1 every day, so I took her to the park during that time.  The first day, all the kids were really young and she was ready to leave after about 10 minutes.  But the second day, she made some friends.   



After school and work, Jill and I took her on a little walk down to the Little Red Lighthouse

We had a fun time and maybe we will have another slumber party soon.  

RBG

 Like many people, I was very sad to hear of the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  I had requested to take two days off to help my sister move, but when the move was delayed, I took one of those days to drive down to Washington DC to pay respects.

We stood in line for about an hour and a half, but it went by very fast.  Some people were dressed like Justice Ginsburg.  



here she is lying in repose in front of the Supreme Court 





And in case you need something lighter, here is a RBG parody from SNL





Pie Night 2020

 Covid-19 did not stop Pie Night at Dominique Ansel.  



Here are a few of the pies we had that night.  This was my favorite of the savory pies -- the potato and bacon with yummy fontina cheese


Strawberry guava -- I didn't like this one very much, but thought it was very pretty



This is the passionfruit coconut pie, which was very good.
