DaVinci, Apples, Papayas, etc.

I finally finished listening to "The DaVinic Code" on tape. My review - Dan Brown needed a good editor. I was fairly disappointed. I just didn't think it was that good and it was way, way, way too long.

I have apples all over the place. Good Southeast Kansas Jonathan apples. I have apple pie in my stomach, apple butter in my refrigerator, and apple ideas in my head. Mind you, I am not complaining, but I will be happier with the apples when I have them all done up and they are not sitting there making me feel guilty. Except I enjoy feeling guilty about eating the apple pie. I do love pie.

Tomorrow is board meeting and I am making a tropical salad. I have been on the great papaya hunt. They are not that easy to find in Wichita, Kansas and they are also not that easy to afford. Since I knew nothing about buying them I looked on the internet and learned that there are Hawiian ones and Mexican ones. I ended up getting processed ones. They weren't that easy to afford either.

I think we are going to give the State Fair a shot tomorrow evening. I have been nagging Harry and Kristy to go so we are leaving when everyone gets home from work/school. We'll probably stay until about 7:30 or 8:00. I like to be there after dark; I think the atmosphere is different.

I am hoping to go see "You Can't Take it With You" at the Center for the Arts on Saturday evening. That is one of my favorite plays. The first time I ever saw it, I saw the old Jimmy Stewart (I am pretty sure) movie. I thought it was nearly the funniest thing I had ever seen. We saw "Arsenic and Old Lace" at the Center a couple of years ago and they did a really good job with it. Also saw "To Kill a Mockingbird" there. They did it justice also.
