Day of Rest

Sunday, June 4

Slow day, ending in showers. (At least the rain usually holds off until mid-late afternoon.) I made it to church and back on my own. No traffic slowdowns on Sunday mornings. Small crowd (it’s a branch, not a ward) of friendly folks, as always. In the afternoon, Greg & I tried to decide exactly what (and how) we’re doing in New York. (The last time I was in the city I was on a 9th grade field trip to the U.N. I remember nothing… and a lot has changed in 56 years). Internet was super-slow, which totally frustrates Greg. He finally gave up and went grocery shopping. I cleaned up the kitchen area and set out his wine and a new glass (no stem, soft plastic, with a dimple – it’s apparently the latest trend) to set a more relaxed mood on his return. Then I wandered over to the camp laundry and got the sheets washed.

Also finished my latest book, The Rainbow Comes and Goes, a series of recent and very personal emails between Anderson Cooper and his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. Fascinating, and definitely thought-provoking. Just before this, I read Cooper’s other book, Dispatches from the Edge – excellent! Both were impulse purchases after our tour of The Breakers in Newport. Expensive (I bought them in the gift shop), but I have no regrets. (Lu, I think you would thoroughly enjoy both of these.)

I walk (and take the long way)
to appease my FitBit.
(and yes, I'm lookin' a bit chunky...
and white-headed - scary.)
