Sunday morning before service was supposed to be spent at church eating a Deacons’ Pancake Breakfast to benefit the retirees at Thomas House. Instead, I stayed home, laundering a bathroom rug and bed sheets after Pandora pooped on one and threw up on the other. Don’t worry, she’s feeling much better now, and the poop problem is an old one, and she misses the litter box more than half the time.

After service, some of the young adults joined up for a hike around Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt Island. Teddy Island is always a pleasure to visit — though parking by the footbridge on a summer Sunday afternoon is a nightmare — and we even did a couple of trails I hadn’t been aware of before.

I also lunched on of the best bowls of Thai green curry I’ve ever had, at Bua Restaurant, and I liked it so much I went to Whole Foods immediately after the hike to get myself some green curry mix and free range chicken. Tonight’s the night I make my first Thai-style curry. Wish me luck.

For your pleasure, some photos from Teddy Island:
