Happy Summer Solstice!What a beautiful day! I don't like to use this blog as a "journal", but I got to do so many great things today...
~Drank my Arabian Mocha Sanani blend coffee on the back deck looking out at the lake while reading the Friday paper, which had a great picture and blurp about a sewing camp for kids that had met at our church this past week. And a good review of "Get Smart".
~My hubby trimmed my hair. I know it doesn't seem that noteworthy, but it saved me from going back to the salon after only 2 weeks. And it looks good.
~Rode around the lake in a 1932 Ford Deuce Coupe.
And then I got to drive it. After owning it since 1957 (yes, 51 years!), my father-in-law finally has his hobby car running and he and my mother-in-law drove it out today.~Had a great lunch (BBQed chicken sandwiches) with my in-laws.
~Rode around the lake in the boat. In the sunshine. Hot enough for a bathing suit, but not sweat inducing. Strong sun, Michigan blue sky,and fluffy clouds. Enough said.
~Took a nap laying across the bed in the sunshine. Is it just me, or does that just make it more decadent than a couch nap? Purr...yawn!
~Went to see "Get Smart". Highly recommend it. I had never even seen the original series, but what a fun movie! James Bond action and stunts with Steve Carrell humor and his odd sweetness. The most I've laughed out loud in a movie in ages.
~Rode the motorcycle with Dale out to Fenton to The French Laundry for a late supper. Highly recommend it as well! They sell Zingermann's baked goods and use their bread in their sandwiches, and I had an awesome hazelnut cappuccino and chocolate croissant for dessert (the boss' favorite--would have brought him one if he'd been in town-next time!). Definitely going back for my birthday!~Saw two wagons loaded with square bales of hay near Fenton. Some "country" things don't change!
~After a chilly ride home, there's still time to snuggle up with a new book while hubby watches HGTV. And it's only Friday night. Thank you, Lord for extra hours of daylight!
So what did you do with your
almost 15 hours of daylight today?

Drove, drove, drove to Mackinaw, actually commented on how long the day seemed before I realized it was summer solstice, then relaxed in the pool, walked on the beach and watched the huge moon over Lake Huron (which looked even huger without my glasses!), then had a nice long sleep in a giant bed while we listened to the breeze on the lake.
A very relaxing start to our brief, jam-packed vacation.
