Chilly With Blue Skies And Sunshine

8:59

It's 8:40 and I was out paddling on a lovely lake morning for close to an hour, down Woodlawn, across to Long Point, back to Sandy Bottom, and home. I ran into our good friends, Tina and Jim, who are back kayaking now that they have opened their house. 

Kayak Morning

Long Point

Yesterday was another good day, with nothing I had to do, just what I wanted to do. I tried to kayak on a windy, wavy morning, but it was too much, so I was out for only 15 to 20 minutes. I then finished up the blog, published it after Evie edited it, and decided to go to Lakewood for coffee. So Evie made a Wegmans list, and I was off by 9:20. I met two friends, Paul and John, and we talked for half an hour before we had errands. I had only a few things to get at Wegmans, so I wasn't there very long. We are starting to think of stocking up I items so I bought coffee and Marukan rice vinegar, two staples for Evie.

When I got home, I put lunch off until 1:00 to watch a couple more of my boating videos and take the practice tests. At 1:00, Evie made me a delicious tortilla, with ground meat, cheese, and salsa and I watched another episode of Joe Pickett. It sounded good to read and nap so I went upstairs and took a short nap. When I came downstairs, I watched the last boating video, took the final test, and voila, I now have a New York State Boating certificate. Evie's so proud of me! Around 3:30, I spent a good hour weeding around our trees and Japanese maple, and will spread mulch around them today. The yard is slowly rounding back into shape. 

Around 5:30, we were able to relax with a glass of wine and not worry about dinner because we were happy to have the last of the meatloaf and mashed potatoes along with a great salad and Nutty Buddies for dessert, Evie's favorite. We watched an episode of Our Neighbors and Friends, then some Colbert and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives before Evie went up to bed. I then watched the Cavs hang on to defeat the Pacers before going up to bed.
