Happy Birthday, Ellen!

Today is Ellen's birthday! She went with some of her pals to the King Arthur Baking Store up in Norwich - one of her favorite places - and had a good time there. John and Cynthia will arrive soon with supper. A low-key but nice day. She had a birthday weekend with Julie in Ogunquit and had a really good time - she felt she had a chance to talk in a way she doesn't usually have. I am one lucky guy to be her husband! Later: John and Cynthia brought burrito bowls from a local Mexican restaurant - they were good and they were filling. We talked, inter alia about Covid, the pros and cons of their new kitchen range, and the implications of Patrick Leahy's decision not to run for another term as senator from Vermont. He is 84. We're hoping a woman will run, though Peter Welsh, our Congressman, would be good too.
