Laurie and I spent an entire lovely day together. Though my sister is ten years younger, we have always had much in common, similar philosophies, politics and attitudes. It was bloody hot and I nearly succumbed to the intense heat and humidity as we traveled around town looking at houses. After mowing early this morning, I swam a mile and was left feeling shaky and unsteady. The houses we viewed were stifling after being closed up for months or years. I couldn't wait to return home and plunge into the pool. Fortunately, a storm blew through and dropped the temperature a bit and ice cream sundaes helped, too.
My sister Nancy traveled today with a friend to spend a week in Hawaii. And my friend Rachel is driving across the country with a friend to visit national park and highlights. Soon, we'll be on our way, too. And how fortunate we all are to have the opportunities to travel freely wherever and whenever we choose.
Paddy, exhausted by the heat.
