CAF and I woke up this muggy July Monday morning after a very very busy weekend (and week) and thought that it would be nice to have the day off. Not another Sunday and not Monday, but a day off.

"We need a day that's not in the week to take off" I said.

We came up with "Lursday", a day not on the calender where we could hide and either catch up on things or just relax.

"Oh I wish it were Lursday."
" Happy Lursday!"

"Can't wait till Lursday."

"Looking forward to Lursday."

"I (heart) Lursday."

July, The 4th has come and gone.

We have had company for 4 weekends in a row.

Love to all and thank you in advance

for the dear deep winter remembrances. George

Nancy and Paulus

The Perfect Day:
Wake up at 6:30

to birds singing,

flawless blue sky,

warm sunshine

and a kiss from the one

who gets up and

makes coffee

dear friends visit

(Nancy and Lars)

be in a parade

win first prize

eat a crab roll

go to the beach

swim in the ocean
nap in the sun

find wild strawberries

throw a stick

to the dog until

she gets tired

and lays down

see friends at the beach

(birthday Julia and Michael)

smell the sun and salt

on your skin

go to friends house

(Gene and Julie)

who pour you a margarita

the minute you walk in the door

walk down the hill to Stonington

still sunny and warm

eat lots of fried seafood

go back to friends house

pour margarita's for other friends

(Dan, Issac, Netty, Stu, Susan,

Julia, Michael, Nancy, Lars, Katy, Jeff, CAF)

Sorry Julie and Gene

we left your house a mess.

go see fireworks

get home and your face

hurts from laughing

look at the July

night sky full of stars

go to bed

Our dear friend TT had surgery maybe 2 weeks ago now.
Sounds like it all went very well and she is convalescing in MA at a friends house.
She will be back on the island next week. That is good because we miss her.
The surgery was very complex and complicated and she said the doctors are quite pleased with themselves and how things turned out.
She said there were over 200 stitches. I imagine it looks like this:

I love you TT and am glad you will be home soon-e
