Wet and Wild Morning On the Lake

A Nasty 'Day Peep' at 6:15

Calm After Yesterday's Storm

Heavy winds, light rain, choppy lake,  and a rapidly moving fog are the makings for a nasty beginning to a Memorial Day Weekend.  It's 38ª, 50º lower than three days ago.  Fortunately, it's supposed to clear up but remain cool later today and over the weekend.  Right now, though, no one would want to boat on the lake.

Back to Yin yoga yesterday morning at 10:00, with Danielle, lots of people as usual on Thursday, so I had to squeeze my mat in to a corner.  We did most of our work on our back, one where we used a block mid back, then laid down on it, resting our head on another block, stretching our lower back and upper chest.  It was difficult to release from the position.  We also did some thigh stretches, something I  have trouble with.  I stopped at Ryder's Cup, and when I got home, Evie was ready to do some shopping since she had not left our house in four or five days, preferring to enjoy our house, lake and yard,  and our cupboard was bare.  She was able to find come cute matching outfits  at Old Navy for our granddaughters for the summer, something we have done for the past five or six years.  I finished Le Carre's THE PERFECT SPY, and was able to download the new novel, THE UNCOUPLING by Meg Wolzer, reviewed recently on NPR, from our local library.  It was a good afternoon to either shop or stay in and read as we had rain most of the day, over a half inch.

Just Like The Seezurh House

Delmonico Steaks Ready for Grilling

A Great Spring Fall Like Night Dinner

At 6:00, we went over to the Mc Clure's for a steak dinner.  They had attended a benefit Saturday for one of the cashiers at the Lighthouse Grocery who had suffered and aneurysm and won an eight pound rib roast in a raffle. They had Norm cut it into steaks and invited us over to enjoy their good luck.  It was a rainy night, cold enoough to turn on a space heater.  Ron was able to cook the steaks outside, running out of propane, quickly changing cylinders, to the dismay and giggles of the wives,  something that happens to me at least once a year, usually when we have a crowd over for dinner.  The steaks were great, with bourbon mushrooms, salad and a nice Frei Brothers pinot noir. For dessert, Linda made a and Italian dessert called a Tortoni, a light, fluffy frozen mousse, with toasted coconut, almonds, and apricot liquor. Both Evie and I loved it.

It felt like a fall evening, as we sat enjoying our dessert,  and Ron could have easily built a fire.  We got home around 10:30, read some and went to bed around 11:30.
