Yesterday was our first day without Hardy and we elected to take it easy. I (Carole) woke up and read in bed for an hour -- luxurious. Then spent the day reading, internetting, or puzzling. Alan went to Solomon's for red beans so we could make red beans and rice for dinner, courtesy of Dawn's andouille. (It was yummy.) Alan made one Solomon's worker's day by asking whether they had "Soft Scrub" -- in the cosmetics aisle. Well, it was on the list.... "You don't shop much, do you?," was her question after she stopped laughing.
Upon his return he borrowed Priscilla's station wagon to bring over two kayaks for a couple of days since she wouldn't be using them. We took them out and can both vouch that kayaks use very different muscles than canoes. Yow. I have new respect for Priscilla's arms!
It has been sunny all week and the lake is warming up. Notice I said "warming," not warm. It's brisk, for sure, but refreshing. We jumped in after the kayak ride. Then Alan went down to the ponds to fish. Caught 3 or 4, including one large female brookie that he kept since she had been the victim of a bird attack earlier in the day and was missing a large part of her back. Trout for breakfast -- yum.
I'm in the midst of the new Harry Potter (delivered from Amazon to the Lakeview store -- it is a small world). It's dark.....three deaths in the first 30 pages, two of them major characters. But good.
