My time during the summer...


Internet, I have been quite busy this summer. I did some training, cut out my exercising because of the heat, and visited my family south of here. I also was reminded of how old I really am getting when my niece drove me around while in town to see my family. Yup. That is correct Internet. My niece was driving me around. I think she did so only to add driving hours, but hey she needed a licensed driver and she wasn't bad. I wouldn't go so far as to say she was perfect and I felt completely at ease while she drove, but it did give us some great time to bond. I also visited with my nephew who loves books and we had some terrific conversations about them as well. My youngest niece was a little hesitant of me at first, but that quickly went away. Why was she hesitant? Well I am unable to visit as often as I would like, so I am just not that familiar. The one thing I wanted to do while in town was to go to the beach. Sadly, I never made it. To hear the ocean's roar as I soaked in the sun's delicate rays would have been wonderful...maybe next time. I also have been keeping busy with watching old movies such as SOUTH PACIFIC, GUYS AND DOLLS, MY FAIR LADY, and THE PERFECT WIFE among others. I enjoy the effortless evenings, the ability to read all the time, and snuggle time with my husband and my pups. Sadly, we did lose one of our girls this summer-Dori. Our sweet kitty who we adopted off the streets when we were living in an apartment years ago. We will forever miss her, but she is in a better place now. Well until another day...good night Internet.
