Lorena is spending a few days with Christian and showed him to make our new Zucchini noodles, Kung Pao Chicken dish. I was out of town no the east coast a couple of days and am back now, holding down the fort with Kiwi. Kiwi was in a state of extreme high dudgeon. She really does not like to be left at home alone, even for a few hours. Also, it is good to be at home alone for a day or two at a time to help me realize how badly I need Lorena. The household just does not operate at all when she is not here. She is having a great time down with Christian and plans to do that more often–hopefully with me tagging along.
