Full of Grace

1.  Three beautiful days with lots of friends (mostly our daughters' friends) at the lake.   I never cooked, I never cleaned up, I never washed a dish.  I didn't even need to drag my kayak down to the water.  Everything was done for me.  I do fear that I have reached that place where young folk do things for me because they perceive me as old.   Damn.  I'm not sure whether I like or hate that.

2.  Martha and I winning 4 of 5 matches in beer pong  (I played with water.)  That will show those little college dweebs what old(er) people can do!



3.  Milk tart.   A decadent dessert our South African guest made for us.   Must get the recipe.

4.  Napping in a hammock.  Napping on a float.  A little snooze on the beach.  Really, is there anything more delightful than a nap on a hot summer's day?



5.  One additional day at the lake all to myself.   Glorious after so much commotion.

    Such a beautiful piece of heaven you've got there.

    And old or not, who doesn't enjoy being waited on?

      Yes, you're right. Old or not, I am incredibly blessed with people who care.

    I was the only person who didn't have other places to be on Sunday. I had no place I had to be. I'm not sure if that was a good thing or not :)
