Early Morning Sun

7:42

It's 8:20 and I was up at 6:20, out on the lake by 6:40 for close to an hour. I paddled north this time, down to Whitney Bay and back, seeing nothing of note. Our doorbell rang at 8:00, and finally, the guys arrived to put in our split air conditioning units, just a few days late. 

Kayak Early Morning

Into The Sun

Monday, Memorial Day, was not memorable except for the yard work. I got in a good paddle early, like today, and we were not sure what to do with our day because it was so nice, lots of sun and warming. We finally decided to work on Evie's garden, removing weeds since it had become overgrown. We got a late start, around 11:30 and worked for a half hour, then took a time out, and were back for another half hour of more. I did quite a bit of turning the soil, getting it ready for some flowers. Around 12:30, I had the leftover spaghetti and meatballs for lunch and watched the end of the Knicks' victory over the Pacers.

By 1:30, I was tired out and decided to read some, then nap but for whatever reason, I hardly napped and was wide awake, wanting to do something. So I decided to mow the front yard. While I mowed, Evie continued with weeding, and by the time I got the front yard done, I took a short break and then did the side yard as well. We were both done by 4:30 and had accomplished quite a bit. We then FaceTime our son Tom and his son Nick, and his family. We love seeing our great-grandson Rhys who is now walking and becoming great at imitating sounds. 

Memorial Day Dinner

By 5:30, we were both showered and ready to head over to our friends, Linda and Ron's for dinner. It was warm enough to sit outside with our drinks and appetizers for the first time this Spring. As usual, Linda had a great dinner for us: a pork roast, accompanied by cornbread, baked beans, salad, and a frozen banana split cake for dessert. We are so fortunate to be their friends. We talked quite a bit about their trip to Spain and France and Linda read some funny anecdotes from their trip's journal. We were tired by 9:00, from the yard work, I am sure, so we headed home. Evie went up to bed and I watched some basketball for a half hour before joining her, also tired from the day.
