2 hours sleep and hot, hot, hot....


Wow - I'm not sure what is going on with me. I think I finally drifted off around 6am and the phone woke me at 8am. My computer guru was calling to see if I wanted to bring my laptop over so he could get the camera working on Skype so we could hook up with Ann from the reunion. My nephew and I connected but my picture didn't show up. I went ahead and got up because I had tons to do before going out to the farm. I threw on a baseball cap and prayed I wouldn't see anyone I knew - SUCCESS! After we unloaded the groceries, guru and his little girl brought my computer back and it works! His daughter Vi and Page had a ball - they are both easily excited so they got along very well. Kurt and Harry were gone when I got home - they are going to meet us later at the farm. Kurt wanted to share some of his favorite places in his "hometown". Leah, Page and I went out to the farm and when Kurt and Harry showed up, I don't know who was more drenched in sweat - Kurt or Lee who just came in from mowing the grass. Kurt really wanted to go fishing in a pond nearby - especially after getting the picture to the right from his Dad who is down East with some friends fishing. After Lee gave him a clean shirt, he was ready to go. Ann - one of the most hospitable and prepared hostesses in the entire inhabited world pulled out her magic Hor'Dourves. I'm not exaggerating here - she is totally, always prepared for any event. I never cease to be amazed at her talents on so many levels and feel like celebrating the day she became such an important part of my life. Oh - and believe me, she would be prepared for that celebration too. She was one of the three young women who came last March and prepared breakfast for me after my surgery - oh yeah - all three of those young women are amazing. Okay - that looks like cheese and crackers - right? But NO - those little cubes of white cheese have horseradish in them. BANG - what a great taste. See what I mean? She likes everything to be special for everyone - not just lemonade - "raspberry"-lemonade. I had her put a splash of white wine in mine and it was goooood. After the guys left, we sat on the porch watching Boy, Biscuit and Page playing in the pool, with the toys, on the swings, ... you get the point. They had a ball! I left my camera at home so all of the telephone pictures I took didn't turn out well at all. I took tons of Biscuit but this was the only one that turned out. She is so pretty and I love her eyes and smile! I don't think Kurt and Lee had been gone very long at all when we got this picture from Kurt - which explains why they probably stayed longer than they intended to. Wow - what a pretty Bass - Kurt said as soon as he put his hook in - bam - this baby hit it. Lee noticed my back right tire was going flat so he took it up to the barn to put air in it. Dang it - that guy said it was fixed. Leah enjoyed holding "Bunny" - a "special needs" little rabbit Ann is babysitting for two weeks. It is bittersweet but I can understand why Ann didn't hesitate to agree to keep this sweet little baby. She suffered neurological damage after being dropped as a baby. Then he and Ann put together a delicious dinner of grilled pork chops (so tender), and tons of veggies and corn on the cob. I knew I had a lot to do so she cut me a piece of delicious cake (multiple thin layers all covered with rich dark chocolate icing) to bring home with me. It was so sweet - by the time I got ready to leave, Biscuit and Boy were both ready to give me kisses. My cup runneth over. Leah called later to say the boys all went to listen to some live music out that way so they would probably be late. Good night.....
