Vacation Rocks

Good morning, Amanda.

Yay! Now that you are home from your vacations I feel like I can get excited about my trip to see you. In fact, I 'd love to start talking details...not that there will be a lot, since I'd like this to be a low maintenance vacation for both of us. Still, will we be going to Seattle? Pike Place Market? Is one dress-up outfit enough? And does it really need to be dressy-dressy? You know: that kind of thing. In fact, now that you are back from your vacations I would love to talk to you. Maybe we can catch up live sometime soon. (It feels like forever!) I'll be by the pool today for a few hours if that works out for you.

Yesterday was a perfect day at the beach. I was tempted to stay over at L's again but headed home after eight instead. While I was stuck in traffic because of road work I cursed the decision, but this morning, as I sit and enjoy this coffee--my own favorite brew--and make plans to walk after I finish here and then sit by the pool, I am happy. I will see everyone again tomorrow at my parents' for a party for M and V anyway, and next week I will probably go down again (it becomes a weekly thing, if you recall, that I go down for an overnight and day at the beach), so it's all good.

I'm glad to hear you had a great vacation, and would love to hear more in person if I can pull you away from your garden and you can manage a phone call.

Love you,
Barb
