Our Favorite Onion Soup
David has been doing okay the past two weeks. We went to the doctor for his checkup and things are going about as she expects right now. There is still some concern about his seizure in Paris, so we are being careful and watching for any signs that may lead to a another occurrence. We’ve been at the store for a few hours most days getting caught up for the spring season and Valentines Day of course.
We’ve slowly been working on a few projects around the house and at his parent’s house. It’s hard for David because he wants to be involved and active in the work, and his arm and leg are keeping him from doing all that he would like to be doing. It is both motivating and depressing at the same time, so we just keep working on it.
David has another new doctor this week that specializes in sports medicine with the idea is that she can work on some of the aches and pains with a different angle of attack. His first visit was really helpful so we’ll be adding the new exercises to his regimen this week and hopefully we get him onto the therapy pool schedule soon.
Saturday night we celebrated Valentines Day with a delightful meal at the newly opened Le Normandie in Pacific Grove. The Onion Soup there reminds us of our time in Paris (it’s heavenly). The food is spectacular, as always (the chef is our friend from Bistro Christine). We’re looking forward to going back as often as we can afford (the calories that is).
The weather has been really nice and we sat outside at Tarpy’s today for lunch and caught up with Will, our very long time friend (landscape architect extraordinaire). It was almost nice enough to inspire us to stop by the garden center for some plants for the house, but instead we went to Carmel Valley looking at garden ornaments (big limestone pillars and fountains) with Will for a project he is doing in Pebble Beach. Reminiscent of our trip with Will to Madrid many, many years ago and the tour of the Spanish gardens of the relatives of Louis XIV. Maybe something a little less elaborate for our front yard this spring.
Thanks for keeping up to date.
