Sunday Picnics

(Community Matters) Steven and I hosted our connections group from St. James Episcopal for dinner yesterday. Enjoyed the visit of two dear friends and new friends.

Legendary foodie Ann Clark and I planned to cook every July weekend, serving friends lavish French picnics, champagnes/wines and desserts on Sundays in the courtyard, by the pool. After yesterday, realizing I can’t do this after all.

Finding myself moving into a protective mode. M might get mad at me for this because he isn’t asking, nevertheless, I’m needing to ratchet back focus to helping Michael, being here for the rest of our families, job/team members and the Obama campaign, as well as producing M’s and ST’s plays this winter, next Spring, respectively. I’ll still meet my other community commitments but likely no time beyond this. I need to ask others to understand why I’m unable to do more in the interim.
