After a leisurely breakfast, we took off. But somehow, along the way, Willy drove by the house of the "'beans". He spontaneously decided to drive onto their driveway!It turned out - it was the home of Jane & Theresa, friends of Dawn's and a lesbian couple together for 30 some odd years. Long story short, Willy invited them to dinner. At first Jane declined because they had plans for a movie with another girlfriend, June. But after some discussion, the ladies were catching the 4pm showing - plenty of time to make dinner! And of course, Dawn was also included. Which meant I needed to get more shrimp for the dish I had planned to make!
We were to eat outdoors but a lightning storm started and we moved everything inside. As it happened, 7 people needed 7 dining chairs which was exactly the number of chairs the boys purchased! Fate!
Daniel made polenta "coins" - some with blue cheese, some with tomato. Served with salad, I presented the shrimp with wild brown rice. Dinner turned out to be lively and quite lovely. The ladies were delightful and everyone raved over my shrimp dish. We ended with a tasty cranberry walnut tart.
I end this posting with various shots I took around the house. Daniel, who I will always consider as my brother and Willy have always been consummate hosts and continue to keep their reputation without fail. Love them!

a hummingbird came to feed.
