MAR-JUL: Billy and Bobby the swans returned to NACC’s #2N pond behind my house after their winter in the golf cart shed and in the
wild. They happily came to my calling their names for some fresh corn kernels and posed with Mom. Later, they moved across to the
streams at #9N and #8W holes for the better natural water weeds there, but they still swam to my call for my corn offerings on our visits.
At many events with friends in and around Columbus. A sampling: FEB: Lion dancers at CAACO’s Chinese New Year Banquet at Sunflower
with Tony & Kate Thomas, Jim & Cherie Nelson, Ping & Virginia Chen, Jim Miller & David Glisson and their exchange students. APR: Blake
Compton’s insighful Creative Mornings Columbus talk on Game. Made laminated pasta with Shawnie Kelly at her Sur La Table class. SEP:
Tally Krumm & I visited Tom Noe at his place in Marion. OCT: Gallerie Bar & Bistro’s Bill Glover led a lavish James Beard Chefs’ dinner.
JUN: With fellow members of Gahanna’s Peace Lutheran Church, we joined the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America group among 10,000 marchers in Columbus’ Pride Parade - one of the largest in the nation. Got a different and exhilarating perspective on Columbus!
AUG: Mom & I caught Crazy Rich Asians on its opening day in Columbus, in comfortable reclining lounge chairs. It featured Mom’s good friend Lisa Lu who played Nick’s fabulously wealthy grandmother. My screen shots of her, starting with a party to view her Night Blooming Cereus. Auntie Lisa was so natural in the role - easy to see how she earned the nickname “One-take Lisa” in her 50+ years on screen.
JUN-SEP: Mom’s Night Blooming Cereus plant rewarded us with 4 rounds of magnificent blossoms this year that each last only 1 night. It gave us a record 14 flowers over 4 nights in August, celebrating the Crazy Rich Asians opening! Neighbors dropped in to see them - including Midge & Tally Krumm, Kate & Tony Thomas, and Cherie & Jim Nelson - and to enjoy a Chinese midnight snack of our wontons.
Ate out a lot with friends. MAR: Sherran Blair with Janice & Herb Wolman at The Keep. Rich Stoff at The Guild House. APR: Bethea Woolf at Avishar Barua’s Service Bar. MAY: Ambrose & Irene Ng, Stella & Warren Woo, S.L. & Theresa Lee at Ping & Virginia Chen’s potluck. At NACC: JUN: lunch with Jon Tafel, Kris Frost, Tally Krumm, Rich Petrick; SEP: dinner, Viv & Jack Davis; Thanksgiving, David Glisson & Jim Miller.
