I agreed to work through lunch today, so I'm about to go outside on a smoke break with Kristen and Alia. I was sniveling to my supervisor.
"Smokers get to go outside."
I get to go too. But I gotta stand upwind from them, while they blacken their lungs and shorten their lives. I'm just hankerin' for recess, like elementary school. I live here for the sunshine, and the fresh air of the Texas Hill Country. Were there a beach nearby, I'd be on it. I think I have a little bit of a sunburn. Parte`.

Well, it is a beautiful day in the neighborhood today...tbe wind has finally gone elsewhere...I did some cleaning, 2 loads of laundry, then HAD to get outside....went for a 2 mile walk, repotted a plant and filled the birdbath, then read the mail on the porch while I had my third cup of coffee...just great to be outdoors. Summer is filling in...I have 29 rooms booked so far at the B&B!!

I got a call for a reservation today from a couple in Iowa...they said they found us on the ND Star Party web page...so, I looked...yup, there we are! Type in North Dakota Star Party and click on the link...I didn't even know about this party!! Wanna come?
