Neverending

Yesterday we took the family to Olive Garden for Britt's farewell.

Bill and I had planned on taking her to lunch, but it just so happened that everyone but Mar was home by the time we pulled Bill away from the basement.  The neverending basement.  So we nabbed Mar on our way out, and had a nice family going-away linner (lunch+dinner, since it was 3pm).

 After much thought and contemplation, most of us ended up with the neverending pasta bowl.  (Although since Lex, Shi and Mar had already had lunch, they made different choices.  Like chocolate mousse cake, chicken panini, or garlic mashed potatoes.)  Taylor barely made it through his first serving.  Britt ordered a second so we could have leftovers.  Bill made it through two servings, and I managed to eat about a fourth of my second bowl.
We were done.

But the company was awesome, and it was fun to do something together before Britt headed out.

 (I think sunglasses on your head is the perfect accessory, don't you?  I even wear them when I clean house.)

Adios, mi chica bonita!

As for the basement:

the bench seat was trimmed out,

the doors hung,

the handles put on,

the microwave installed.

There are a few more projects before we can say we are done.  And mean it.
