Beautiful sunset clouds here the other day. This morning was just as pink, though the clouds have since rolled inland, covered the sky. Forecasters say there's rain on the way.

So, those people who are interested in the house? They came the afternoon of an Oscars party. The table was set for eight, oranges and limes and tequila were ready for margaritas, this great Moroccan chicken dish was braising, Champagne was chilling, brownies cooling on the counter.

A friend said later, those people probably did want to see the house again, but what they really wanted was to stay for dinner. Hey, the more the merrier.
