Weekly Update 6/23/2019

Another week of not doing much. But, since Friday was the summer solstice, I spent as much time in the pool as I could this week. I’ll try to get there often next week, too, as the sun’s rays are most direct and I can tan more easily. I was swimming everyday except Monday, even when my knee hurt.

I went to a Savannah Banana game on Tuesday. Annually, Charles and I try to get a game, because he likes baseball, and I think I’m the only person who will go with him. It was a delightful evening weather-wise - warm, but with a pleasant breeze. And the home team won! It was quite depressing, however, because some of my GRANDCHILDREN are older than the players. How can that be? Just thinking about that makes me feel old.

I don’t eat well, and I don’t usually like to buy fruit or vegies to eat. It’s even harder to get any enthusiasm for produce when everything at the Publix is grown in California. Georgia actually grows more blueberries than peaches, so I wanted Georgia blueberries. I found a u-pick farm not far away, and June and I drove there on Thursday. When we got there, not only were they not picking, but it was way too hot for me to want to be in the field with a plastic bucket; we simply bought the packaged blueberries in the store. They were not cheap, but they were very good. They were particularly good served with vanilla ice cream.

I had planned to go to an outdoor concert on Saturday night, but the storms rolled in and I decided to stay home where I was comfy and dry. I have found that things generally are slower in the South, but this summer has been even more so than normal. There’s not much on the calendar for the coming week, either. On the plus side, I’ve been reading a lot, but I’ve been boring.
