Sitting in a circle and talking and laughing

Written last night:

Dear Friends, 

It was a lovely dinner, with five people from the building (one was me).  We talked and ate for three hours, telling stories, challenging each other, laughing.  All contributed an hors d’oeuvre and a bottle of wine. (Thanks, Mary, for encouraging me to buy wine glasses! When I washed them after the guests had gone I realized three still had clear stickers on the base, but no one seemed to notice.) I was so glad that the runner for the entry hall came yesterday. It warms up the entrance. And my leek quiche was delicious — I recommend it — just look up leek quiche on New York Times Food. 

Love,

k

Here’s what you see when you open the door.

The bedroom is to the right and that bluish light is from the studio.

I bought the rug to warm up the entry, and there's usually a bench here too, which I removed to make room for my friend who uses a wheelchair  

I stood on a chair to get this view of the living room

Zing is under the bench by the purple couch
