altivoAnnual Sagittarius birthday party. Getting smaller I think. And Rebecca and I were the only Sagittarians. Nothing like the old days of the event. On the other paw, we got to leave at a reasonable hour for a change, and there wasn't ten inches of snow and ice on the ground.
I made a big salad, with spinach, romaine, red leaf lettuce, red onion, fennel, ripe olives, and tiny tortellini. Often when I take that to pot lucks, most of it comes back with us, but tonight about 2/3 of it got eaten. Gary made chocolate chip scones, and in spite of my usual observation that anything with chocolate in it will disappear, quite a few of them were left. Sign of too much food, I suspect.
The two N-scale box cars I got off Ebay arrived today. Cute little things, though these are cheapie ones. Might be more suited to use as props on a siding than as active rolling stock. Will have to see. Both cars have the same ID number, but a little judicious application of an X-acto knife should change a 4 to a 1 to make them different. Detroit Toledo & Ironton insulated 50 ft. cars. Photo to follow.
It's cold out again, though not as cold as last night. That's good, because this morning the newest duck egg was actually frozen right in the nest box.
