A quiet day

Sunny, hot, lovely, temps 28

Fabulous day. Hot but not steamy. Wrote all this morning then took the dogs for a walk and laid on the dock, hearing the bass jump and the water glug. So peaceful.

Yesterday, after breakfast and doing some chores we came home. Nancy came by to help set up the satellite connection for the internet, which seems to be even slower than dial-up. Something isn't quite right. Poor Michael spent most of this morning wrestling with it.

Then I coaxed him into the pool to cool off. then made lunch. Had the BEST organic peaches ever. No need for chocolate or pie or even gummies when fruit is that good.

Now we're just relaxing. I'm getting back to people about dates and details. Wrote part of the Globe column.

We're off to Kirk and Walter's for dinner. Kirk's father has vision problems but loves to read so I take him whatever books on tape I collect on travels. have a bunch to give him.

Hearing back from people who read the Advanced copies of The Murder Stone about how much they've enjoyed it. the best so far. Such a relief.
