We dropped our wares off at home and then went to the gym to go swimming. I don't usually pay much attention to how far we go but M figured out how many laps we needed to do to make a mile so we did it. My arms were pretty tired when we were done but it was nice to finish a mile.
We took the front door apart and stripped the paint off of it. When we switched the door handle, we were hoping to only have to sand a small spot on the door and paint it. Our luck was that there were so many coats of paint and that one of the middle layers was goopy that it just wasn't going to work. We spent the afternoon taking the paint off and sanding. We put the door back on the hinges with no paint on it as it was time to go out.
One of the east suburbs (Gahanna) was showing "Some Like It Hot" in a local area park. www.creeksidegahanna.com/index.html We invited some friends (C&B) to go with us. B agreed to bring white wine, hummus and pita crisps. We brought red wine, homemade salsa (from the Farmer's Market tomatillos) and chips. They got there first and called to tell us that it was in more of a brick plaza than a park. We didn't have chairs so C went to the nearest Kroger and picked up four chairs - whew! It was very cool - so great to watch the movie on the blow up movie screen. Funny movie if you have never seen it. What was even funnier is that in the building behind where we were watching the movie, the third floor was a reception hall with a lot of windows and we could tell it was a wedding reception. We got to see the first dance, the father daughter dance, YMCA, and Hang On Sloopy (O-H-I-O). It turns out that the plaza had an amazing fountain and a restaurant overlooking the fountain. It is now on my list of restaurants that I want to try - if for nothing other than the atmosphere. www.mezzoitalian.com
