Mary and I spent the day working around the house, but by mid-morning we were showing serious signs of Vicky-and-Jim withdrawal\u2014so we called for a visit before things got worse. They arrived around 5, just in time for homemade corn chowder and two homemade salads, including Mary\u2019s garden-fresh tabula. Housework: done. Friends: restored. Chowder: gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re old, but at 6:30 p.m. we decided to go for a swim. It was dark and raining, but that didn\u2019t stop Mary, Vicky, and me from splashing around like little kids for an hour in the 93-degree pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim, the sensible one, stayed under the patio cover\u2014dry, warm, and presumably judging us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterward, we sat by the fire to \u201cdry off.\u201d In the rain. Apparently, at our age, we know better\u2014but not better than we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vicky and Jim left in Vicky’s “freeway flyer” (complete with flames painted on the car) around 8:00 p.m., and Mary and I watched TV. Within three minutes, we heard Vicky request landing instructions at Los Alamitos Airport on the runway named Kensington! In the background, we heard faint sirens.<\/p>\n\n\n
