Up just before 7:00, in time to watch the sun rise from a dot to a glowing ball, this time it's moved beyond the tip of Long Point, to Lakeside Drive. A few pink/blue clouds and the rising sun makes for a gorgeous morning on the lake. Unfortunately, what was billed as a sunny week will turn clouds, with thunderstorms tomorrow. That's fine, as we need the rain.
Yesterday was another near perfect day, sun and cool, with a nice breeze. We were not sure what to do but then I got the bright idea to take a hike on the Westside Trail, starting in Panama, about 15 minutes from our home. We have been on the trail before and really like it, lots of pine trees and woods. Unfortunately, as we started, Evie always signs in at the box at the trailhead where other hikes have also signed in. One of the hikers mentioned having lost keys, the other said 'Watch Out For Bears.' That was enough for us to cancel our hike after a quarter of a mile. We know there are bears but when someone says, 'Watch Out For Bears,' it takes on a different meaning, like sharks sighting in the water this past July in Topsail. So, we went home and did what we should have done, go kayaking for an hour.

| Joyce, Gardening And Bill Relaxing |
We were back by 12:30, in time for me to make a tuna sandwich, billed as the best tuna sandwich ever, with cottage cheese, capers, and celery. It was above average but not the best though the cottage cheese made it go farther, so that I will have the rest of it today for lunch. Don't always believe what you read or hear (except for Donald Trump, of course). We then did our usual, reading on the dock or inside, dozing off until around 4:00 when I took a bike ride down to Snug Harbor, down Davis Road and back, about forty five minutes. It was not a good time to be on the main road, RT. 394 because of Friday traffic but I was careful, if you can be careful with cars whizzing by at 55 mph plus.

| A Stuffed Eggplant Dinner With Ron and Linda |
At 5:30, we drove to Tops Grocery to pick up a few things for the weekend, then went to McClures for dinner at 6:00. I brought Ron a 12 pack of Old Vienna, the beer we always drink on the porch of the Lenhart, a bargain and drinkable at 7.99 a 12 pack. Evie brought Linda some UTZ chips, so we were ready for pre dinner drinks and appetizers. We sat out on their porch, enjoying the late afternoon and took a tour of their newly acquired house, next door to the cottage they are now living in but with property on the lake. Once things get settled, the house renovated some, it will be great, an estate so to speak. We had a great dinner, eggplant stuffed with vegetables and lamb, just like eating in a Turkish restaurant. I mistakenly thought the dish was called Kadin Buda, which means 'ladies thigh' but I was wrong; it refers to a egg shaped meatballs of ground lamb. Mea culpa. We sat eating and drinking at the table until 9:30 when Evie and I decided it was time to go as Ron and Linda are driving back to Pittsburgh early Saturday morning. It was a great meal, a good evening.
