My world of Wonders aka The Wednesday Ws Last of June 2025

Where have I been this week? Out to lunch at Founding Farmers new Arlington, Virginia location,  the Springfield Mall for a long walk inside, the gym, the pools - indoor and outdoor, the farmers market, a long walk in north old town, Trader Joe's, the pharmacy, the Library, Potomac Yard for a shopping walk, into The City for lunch and a walk. 

How is the Weather? HOT, HOT, HOT, highs in the 90's hovering around 100 (f).  That has influenced walks being indoors to avoid the heat. 

Who have I seen this week? Larry, Jim, Ruth, Warren, Renee, a bunch of neighbors, Erica - my replacement.

What have I been up to in the kitchen? I poached a whole chicken, made stock, chicken pies, chicken salad, gazpacho, hard boiled quails eggs, meatloaf, veggies, white turnips and tiny carrots.  

What have I enjoyed reading? "Building" written by Mark Ellison, a master carpenter who has spent 40 years doing high end remodeling in New York. It is brilliantly written, by a craftsman who would protest that he is not a scholar. 

When is my next adventure? Toronto in early August for just a couple of nights. 

Wondering? Are these colorful enough for a show with a theme of splash of color? 

What has me dismayed? Bombing Iran. 

What was heard at the pool? Two late middle aged women discussing men and marriage, "I don't need a man, I need more batteries!"
