Day 7 of Summer Trip (Cary, North Carolina)
7:55 pm
Have been having a relaxed time here at Dad & Elsie’s house. Just finished a dinner of fish (Tillapia), red potatoes & salad. David went to the store yesterday while I did some yard work. Said he didn’t have too much trouble getting around.
A general roundup: Monday night found ‘meatloaf patties’ in the freezer and reheated alongside a can of green beans. Slept well in the guest bedroom. No plans on Tuesday, so we stayed in bed until 11-ish, then ate “brunch” of bagels & cream cheese. After David got back from the store, he joined me outside.
While I trimmed flowers & shrubs, he mowed and sprayed for bugs. Very muggy and easy to become drippy with sweat, even though I was just wearing shorts & a bikini top. I took some pictures of the yard before doing any work, but it occurs to me that I didn’t take any “afters”. Maybe tomorrow morning.
Anyhow, last night we watched the All-Star Game and were glad to see the AL triumph. Then to bed. There’s a TV in the guest bedroom now, which we enjoy.
We slept in a bit this morning, with David getting up to clean windows (from the bug spray) and check the sprinkler system. OOPS – forgot to mention that after we entered the house Monday night we found a puddle of water around the refrigerator. Turned out to be the product of a slow leak from the water dispenser. Today we put plastic & towels around the fridge, and a sponge on the upper platform to take the majority of moisture.
Called Sweden a couple times while we’ve been here, and chatted over all the details. We haven’t done anything today except relax, watch TV, did 2 tiny laundry loads, and play with the dogs. It’s so hot & humid out that the energy gets sucked right out of you. I was out with Pav for a few minutes and when he wandered into the neighbor’s yard, I met “Jan” and she gave me a piece of mail for Dad. We plan to leave tomorrow morning for Asheville, NC.
- Evening thunderstorm
- David talked to his relatives in Kentucky; we’ll be seeing them on Friday/Saturday.
