I'm back. Here are some Vermont pics:

While I was in Brattleboro, I had lunch with Laura, who was in my Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th-grade classes, and who I had a huge crush on when I was eleven years old, and did a noble thing and 'gave' her to my friend Freddy. 

We began catching up with a retelling of some he-said, she-said events from 2nd-grade (55 years ago!) (I laughed when I wrote that; does it seem funny to anyone else?). It was a pivotal time for both of us, and went forward from there, for about two-and-a-half hours. I should stop being amazed that people who shared so much so long ago could so easily fall back to a friendship that we had been on hiatus for fifty-two years.

Diet Comment

First of all, by "Yesterday's Weight:"  I actually mean, "Friday's Weight:". Over the weekend, while visiting friends, I tried to adhere to the plan, but I did eat some bread, rice and potatoes (small amounts), had a large bit of cheese, and some desserts (although, gluten-free). The rest of my food was right on plan: eggs, fish, turkey, chicken. I didn't realize until I'd written it that I didn't have any red meat all weekend. Still, I ate well, and not too much.

And I'm rewarded by weighing less today than I did Friday.
