A Weekend in July

The hot weather seems to be taking a break this weekend. It's not the heat as much as the irritation of listening to fans and the air conditioner. Still, I remember when we didn't have any of the rooms air conditioned and it was awful.

It's Steve's 63rd birthday today. We've made a lot of trips around the sun together. He is choosing to spend his birthday puttering around the house, after drinking coffee and reading the New York Times on the front porch.

Some of the family are at a resort swimming and going to the local zoo, others are going to the Carousel  of Happiness in Nederland, and some of the more distant relatives are camping. Summer.

A neighbor came by and introduced herself. She has placed a "Little Free Library" in her front yard. The Grand Opening is today and we're invited. The library has a train theme seeing as she lives a very short distance from the train track.


I had an almost impromptu coffee with my friend, Nana, yesterday. The beautiful copies of her latest book arrived and I was privileged to received a copy. If you love memoirs or history, this is a fine read.



Tei: A Memoir of the End of War and Beginning of Peace

Somebody crawls now. A big game-changer.


A trip to the market. Those are tattoos on her arms and legs.
