oh my aching ..... EVERYTHING!

These past few days have just been packed with obligations and deadlines! In fact, now that I glance at the calendar .... it's more like the past MONTH! And it's not likely to change for at least another week. I was chatting with someone yesterday and I told her "honestly, when did I have time to work before I retired?!!!" Today was a very long day and I can FINALLY feel myself floating off mentally. We had the gang over for an Independence Day barby & watched the fireworks display presented on the pier ... from our own lanai .. The marine layer hung out at the horizon, giving us a clear, cool evening for viewing- and I'm just now hearing the fog horn from Avila. Good Timing Mother Nature! I will be full for a week .... but for now, I am dwelling instead on the amazing people I got to spend time with today. From the many gals I am getting to know in the chorus, to the neighbors I would never want to live without! Thank you to all of you who made this a wonderful day!
