Whole Foods for their food bar? I could go for a large salad. Lots of choices there. A little less than a mile walk, about 1,5 kilomètre, Huguette. Or I can bring something back if you know what you want. We can come back here to eat. Warm enough to sit on the balcony if we want.”<br/>Huguette scans our wine 'cellar' and deems several wines apt for tonight's meal.<br/><br/>The three of us make our way to the street and off to the store.  Along the way, I feel as though both Chloe and Huguette are avoiding the question in their minds:  "So how did she do today?"   Then again, for all I know they've already communicated that to each other??  Chloe says to me to remember my doctor's appointment tomorrow.<br/><br/><em>"Yup, all set...."</em>I say cheerfully<br/><br/>“So Kimmie, if Dr. Jensen wants blood work and I suspect she does, I suggest you fast tomorrow morning so you can have blood taken before lunch. Then we can go to lunch and I can be back to school in time for a 3 o’clock and your blood work will be processed and back to Dr. Jensen overnight instead of having to wait until Monday.”<br/><br/><em>"Oh yeah....right....now that I didnt think of.....thanks"</em><br/><br/>Chloe turns to tell Huguette that Dr. Jensen is in the Sisterhood as well.  I am mildly surprised, but hardly shocked.  Im beginning to see how vast a net this group casts world wide.<br/><br/>I am more surprised that Huguette decides to accompany us.   I didnt thing she'd want to spend an a few hours of her time in a doctor's office?  But perhaps Dr. Jensen is of significant rank that protocol would dictate a visit??  I dont know?  Im not well versed enough in the Sisterhood to know.<br/><br/>In addition to possibly dining with the Doctor tomorrow, she will also be at Salem on Friday.<br/><br/>"...…. I take it Kimmie will be welcome at the gathering? Maybe you can take her shopping for suitable clothing tomorrow morning and we can meet at the doctor’s?”<br/><br/>Im thrilled to be included.  I must have reached a minimal satisfactory status to be allowed to attend.  Then again, I hope I know what Im getting into.....<br/><br/>At the market, I settle for a very plain salad, but a favorite.  No lettuce, just a mix of vegetables selected on a whim.  Carrots, peas, hard boiled egg, peppers, bacon bits....and a variety of others just taken in passing.<br/><br/>Chloe wanders over to the fresh vegetables as I fight with a plastic cover that does not want to go onto my dish.  I win....finally.<br/><br/>We pay for our meals and walk home.  Its a mild night and perfect for eating on the balcony.  Im very much looking forward to this.  I'd love to hear more about Huguette.....of course anything about the Sisterhood.....or just a relaxing meal with no agenda beyond friendship.  Chloe explains her visit to the fresh vegetable section:<br/><br/>“Dessert tonight is Chloe’s Guacamole.”<br/><br/>I smile at Huguette.....<em>"Its really good!!"</em><br/><br/>Huguette smiles and adds:  "Cant wait!"<br/><br/>Soon the three of us are setting up the balcony for dinner, Huguette is pouring wine....Chloe is finishing up her guacamole....And I realize, that Im starving!<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
