THE DAY AFTER

Thursday morning, just turning over to afternoon.
Breakfast is over…late one this morn.

Dear Wife has gone to town with Dear Friend to grocery shoppe – Friends bringing salmon tonite – The Study furnishing veggies and a dessert.
Friends, Fellowship, Food, Drink.

As the Dear Colleague used to say, “How sweet it is.”

Low sixties last nite…low eighties today.
Cloudy with rain a good chance overnight.

Nice contrast to hot and nineties and windy.
Not for always, but once in a while.

Camp is quiet now.

Relatives have left, completing a five-day visit.
We talked and laughed and grilled and walked marinas and shopped and dined in a multitude of splendid Northern Eateries.

And talked of the old times.
And of politics; religion and theology; and the changing times we all live in.
And we did things we have done before – those things known as family traditions.

Again, how very sweet.

And now there are Dear Neighbors and ‘catchups’ and the doing of things we did not get to.

Chores and reflections and thinking and planning and thanking God for His Blessings.

“These are the days the Lord hast made – Let us rejoice and be thankful!”
