In Praise of Eating Slowly

We have had a number of late and leisurely dinners with our French visitors. Of course, we do not get much done. Unless lovely meals and conversations are the goal! Tomorrow, we'll visit Milwaukee, and then we will spend a week in Chicago until Sam leaves for France.

Today, was the last day of summer school. It was a wonderful experience, but I came home ready for a rest. Getting up early and staying up late having fun is wearing me out (in a nice way). While the kids went to Cave of the Mounds and out for sushi, I stayed home. It was good to nap a little, read a little and watch The African Queen. I rented it for Gabrielle who is trying to watch the 100 top movies on a list from one of her teachers in France who teaches cinema. While she was here, she watched Singing in the Rain and Meet Me in St. Louis (both on the list). Along with Sasha and me, she likes classic old movies. Phil (who rarely likes movies made over ten years ago) wants to see Friends With Benefits. Sounds like a date!
