A Day with Miriam

 
 
 
 

Miss Miriam was more than ready when I showed up. But I was detained working out the last details for Easter Sunday dinner with her mom. We finally left and went home to dinner of beans and rice, her favorites, even though she had had the same thing for lunch at EMI. She set the table and then we waited for Miss Janet to come and join us for dinner. Miriam kept watch from our gate and let us know the minute Janet came into view.
After dinner, Miriam chose a movie....yeah, Cat in the Hat. She had a backup picked just in case it didn't work or something. She watched most of it with big Miriam. By the end, she was well past her usual bedtime and went straight away to bed, spending some time trying coax Oreo, their used-to-be cat into the bed with her. Oreo was more concerned with keeping the other cat out of the bedroom.

In the morning, posho porridge was the order of the day, topped with brown sugar or golden syrup. This hot cereal is made with milk, and is much like cream of wheat. Since this was Good Friday, we went down to church for the service, including communion. We had a quick snack of coffee cake, left from Nate's breakfast yesterday.
