It's been a quiet week for Jeff and me. We spent this weekend watching a lot of golf, as in Tiger Woods match play from Arizona. Jeff was glad to kick back. The weather has been great, highs in the 50's, lows in the 30's and sunshine. Spring is making an appearance, as shrubs are budding out. Unfortunately I don't know what kind of shrubs they are. Any ideas? They have small pinky red or yellow blooms, and they are 3 feet high and grow like a spirea. I did take a cooking class with my benvenuto club. There were about 15 of us learning about Indian cuisine. They gave us the correct information, according to those who know Indian food, but flavored it like Italians, which means not very spicy. The best part is after the class when we eat the food and drink wine. This is when we discovered how blandly it was made, but we also discovered the dishes of chutney on the table that were full of spice, and enjoyed ourselves. Jeff and I have been taking long walks through different parts of the neighborhood, which is helping me to break in a new pair of walking shoes I purchase for my trip with the church group, in March. I'm still not sure if I'm breaking in the shoe or the other way around. But as most of you know, most of my shoes don't have a back to them, and my heels are not accustomed to being rubbed. I think I've been in the south to long where we can wear sandals 11 months out of the year.
