Lots and Lots going on... loose ends to tie up before I leave for Maine next weekend. Yesterday we gave a tour for the Institute on Aging and talked about projects we might work on together. Last night I went to Buck's camping & fishing for dinner with Peggy and Mark. So fun to see them and just an amazing meal, Gazpacho to start. But it wasn't a soup it was those grape tomatoes, basel, corn, and beets. So sweet and fresh. And then for the entree I had a salad - fresh mozzarella, basel and a pear half that had been pickled. Really inventive and totally delicious. Today we are taking our dear Katie B. out to lunch, she's leaving NIH - we will totally miss her cheerful sweet self. Tomorrow I'm meeting Paula and Gay at the NEA Big Read ceremony and then the three of us will have lunch.
