Weekend update/ wise words

Saturday was filled with social activities... went to the Franklin Farmers' Market with Anna Rose in the morning... met Caroline, Elizabeth, Jenny, and Anna Rose at Bread and Co. for lunch... went to see Julie and Julia with Caroline, Elizabeth and Jenny (we got to see the first hour or so, then we had to evacuate the movie theater b/c someone pulled the fire alarm... the theater gave us vouchers for later)... Saturday night James, Elizabeth, Kaleb, Caroline, Charlie, Doug and I ate at McDougal's in Cool Springs. Melaney Cost and family were there- good to see them!

In preparation for Julie and Julia, I just read Julia Child's My Life in France. I really liked a lot of the things she said... here are two quotes I really liked:

"Travel, we agreed, was a litmus test: if we could make the best of the chaos and serendipity that we'd inevitably meet in transit, then we'd surely be able to sail through the rest of lie together just fine. So far, we'd done pretty well."

"Remember, 'No one's more important than people!' In other words, friendship is the most important thing- not career or housework, or one's fatigue- and it needs to be tended and nurtured. So we packed up our bags and off we went. And thank heaven we did!"
