It's 60 this morning, boy does that feel cool. Our heat has been incredible, 90's, humid and sunny. The lake was absolutely beautiful yesterday. I worked in the morning in the Archives then went to the boat house for a while in the afternoon, read on the porch and enjoyed limited boat traffic and a gentle breeze. Really lovely. If I had a dock in... well I refuse to live my life wishing for things that aren't, so no, I don't have a dock and swimming is difficult without one so I don't swim. I am extremely lucky to have a nice screened in porch with comfortable seating overlooking the lake and the mountains. LUCKY.
I went out for ice cream with a friend last night. This has become a regular trip and that's OK, I'm weaning myself from hot fudge sundaes and having things with fewer calories and fat.
Had a lovely evening with friends the other night, Rib Night at their camp. These are friends who come from far away to open their camp each summer, all men who remind me so much of my brother and his friends from high school. Henry used to really enjoy being with his friends, and these men are like that. Much, much laughter and good times.
Today I'm walking with friends then having coffee on the boat house porch. I'll go to the thrift store for a couple of hours, I'm taking the rest of the month off so feel I should show up. I don't really want to go but won't stay long and it's something I have agreed to do. There are more volunteers working there these days so I don't feel bad taking time off. It was busy on Saturday, many shoppers and not too many dropping off stuff, with many workers. Hopefully today will be like that too.
My sister comes next week! That will be nice, very nice. We'll be here for a few days, go to the family's annual meeting and on Sunday we'll drive to RI for a week with my mother. I'm looking forward to it all, I truly enjoy being with my sister and always enjoy visiting with my mother.
Life is good. VERY good. I have peppers on the pepper plant someone gave me, I have blossoms on tomato plants and many blossoms on my cucumber plants. Now if we can only get these blossoms to mature into edibles that would be a miracle.
