Hot, dry and serene
Not much going on here in the California Central Valley. Okay, drought, so not being wasteful. And 2-3 months of temperatures in the 90s. I do love my giant shady redwoods and other trees.
I have 2 literacy students now. I'm still editing our community newsletter, still running the raffle at events. I have enough free time to take a fresh look at habits and lazy thinking.
I've been carrying around my Mom's sterling silver flatware for 15+ years. She may have used it twice. I recently got out 2 place settings and started using them. I put the pieces in the drawer with the almost antique stainless steel stuff, washing everything together. The sterling will likely get trashed, but that's better than just being stashed away out of sight, yes? I think of Mom when I use them. She told me about buying each piece one at a time with money from her paycheck from her first job so she'd have it for when she got married. Along with the crystal glassware and the embroidered pillow cases.
Rupert is loving sprawling on the front porch and walkway, especially at night when it cools off. He's decided my next door neighbor's doormat is a good napping spot.
Really not much happening, I haven't forgotten you guys, miss you. Update: landline 209-526-5446, cell 209-559-3304. I'll try to remember to post even if there's nothing to post about, just to say "hey!"
