Maria had gotten home from vacation on Thursday. She got to JFK at 6 o'clock and didn't get home until 12 midnight, because of the bad snow storm we had that evening. She had gone to Aruba for a couple of weeks. She was very tan and said she had a terrific time.

Mark Briscoe
-
Caption
-
I had asked Mark to take a look at a fauxvoix concrete bench we have near the pond. The idea was to see if he could caste another one or two benches like that from wood. A few weeks later he sent me three different scenarios for how he would go about doing this. Because it was so complicated they were going to be very expensive. So we decided not to do it.

We had all talked about Mary coming for a visit for months. Finally we all settled on a date. She came for lunch. I made the roasted shrimp salad that I like and like to make so much and Cathy(Murphy) mad spicy cucumber pickles. We bought dessert from the Culinary Institute of America. We ate, talked and brought Mary upstairs to see Cathy's new shirt painting that was just about done and then went over to my studio. Judy Linn came over (see next entry) to meet up wit Mary to go out to dinner. Mary is a former student of mine as well as Judy.

Mike and Jamie - Jehovah's witnesses
-
Caption
-
tMike and Jamie came calling to proselytize for the Jehovah's Witness' belief system. We talked for a little while and each did our thing, they hadn't realized that Corey and Linette (see June 2nd 2018) had come calling about two weeks before. I got the feeling they try not to come to the same house quite that often. Mike suggested I might like to know about a big jubilee (if thats what he actually called it) that was coming up soon. I told him that I probably didn't need to know that. They took down the address of this website.

Mona Talbott of Talbott and Arding catered our anniversary party. We first knew of them from a party of Polly (Apfelbaum) and Stan (Allen) that she had catered and we had attended. We took note of how good the food was, it turns out that Mona cooked for a number of years at Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California and was also, at one time, the chef at the American Academy in Rome.The food that she and her crew made for the anniversary party was wonderful.

Peter Charlap, 2:30am
-
Caption
-
When I was released from the hospital (see Visitors, EMT Crew, December 25, 2018). It turned out I had no way to get home. I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, so I didn't have a car and because it was Christmas Eve, none of the taxi companies were answering their phone. I called Mark Briscoe because he lives fairly close to the hospital. He did call me back, but was out in the Hamptons. I kept watching people coming and going and contemplated asking strangers to drive me home, but i didn't think that was going to work. I toyed with the idea of just spending the night in the waiting room, which wasn't all that attractive. So I gave in and called Peter Charlap. He and Shawn came in about a half hour (about 2am) to pick me up and take me home.

Ryan from Suburban Propane

Caption

I was looking out the kitchen window and saw a man in a blue jacket and hood walking around looking like he was looking for something. I went outside and it was Ryan from suburban propane trying to find the tank. I showed him where the tank was and took his photo. When he was done he came to the door and handed me the bill and a purple plastic bracelet, that said on one side Epilepsy Awareness and on the other side Savannah Rose, his daughter's name. He asked if I would pray for her and I said I would.

This August will be Catherine (Murphy) and my 50th wedding anniversary (though we have been living together 52 years). We have decided to have a party to celebrate. We went to Hudon to discuss the food with Mona at her and her partners store, Talbott and Arding, Cheese and Provisions. Mona worked with Alice Waters at Chez Panisse in Berkely, CA, and ran the kitchen for a nmber of years at the American Academy. We first came accross her when she catered a party at Polly Apfelbaum and Stan Allan's. She brought her assistant, Beth Hull, to the meeting at out house. Julee Whelin is a party planner. We met her at the reception after Pat Liefer's Funeral. Pat was Tim Liefer's wife. Scott is Julee's boyfriend who came along with Julee and it seems will be coming to the party to be of help to Julee. Scott knows Tim Liefer for quite some time because he used to date Maggie, Tim and Pat's Daughter, who died some time ago. After talking in the house we all headed out to walk the grounds and make decisions to do with setting up and operating the party. (see next entry).

I called Simon and asked if he was available to come over for a couple of hours because Tim Sheesley was coming to pick up his Litho Stones. Because they are rather heavy I thought Tim could use Simon's help. So Simon came over, the stones were moved, and he went home.

I was out doing errands when Simon arrived. He called me and I gave him instructions to paint the arms of the new chair we bought in Hudson yesterday. We had lunch and then Simon painted the window sills on the coop building and I and he installed two panes of glass. We started to pick axe a mound in front of the coop so that another car could park there for our party on August 18th. I left Simon working on that and I am now writing this. I will probably start working on the map for the guests at our party and as needed direct Andrew and Trevor in their weed eating.
