Monday
Here I am in Topeka, Kansas. It has been a long day of travel after several lovely days in Greenville. The best part of Greenville was — as usual — the Spoonbread Room of the Poinsett Hotel. It is good and it’s served in a beautiful room with sunlight streaming in the windows. Every dish is heavenly. Alex, Kitty, Coco, Bob Noah and I ate there yesterday. I enjoyed every minute. Every morsel.
Then Bob and I walked the streets of Greenville just taking in the intensely lush friendliness of the passers by.
Then, off to a swim meet which I found by accident. The swimmers were top notch and the setting was space age with sophisticated electronic timing systems. But it was a bit damp in there so we left. More power to those strong, dedicated young swimmers, though.
WAIT!!! I made a mistake. The high point of the trip was Valentine’s Day dinner at the Poinsett Club. So many good-looking couples. Such great crab soup. So many well-dressed women. Everyone courtly and friendly. This is a little foretaste of paradise.
Especially being with big wifey who looked so elegant and glamorous. She and Julie the dog are what I have always wanted.
Anyway, I left Greenville this morning for Topeka, sad to say. I like Kansas just fine but I am deeply attached to the town where everyone I meet says, “We’re glad you’re here.”(continued)

At the end of the day if no man or pajamamanboygirlthing is left standing so be it.
Is it bad that I looked at the pic of the daughter in law and the first thing I thought was “She’s gonna win Ben Stein’s money!”?
