silver_chipmunkOverslept this morning, turned off the alarm at 10:00 and went back to sleep until 12:30. Then hurried to have breakfast and coffee and shower and dress.
Took my Agatha Christie book and my folding chair and went tomashfanficchick's place, stopping on the way first to get gluten free Oreos.
Got to zer place, ze was making Rice Crispy treats. Ze finished that up, and then we packed a bag and the insulated backpack and headed off to Forest Park. Asked if Trish wanted to come last night but she didn't.
It was a very nice day. We got a visit from a small dog belonging to the person sitting near to us, which was amusing. We sat in the shade and puttered on our phones, talked, and ate. I got a phone call from John and Denise, which was very nice, we had a good talk. The Kid texted, she has her job interview Monday.
Finally it was getting late. Fireflies came out, more than I've seen in years. We headed back and got back to zer place just in time for the broadcast of the Macy's fireworks.
Sadly the broadcast was somewhat disappointing. The filming was not great, and the musical accompaniment was uninspiring. But it's always nice seeing fireworks.
I requested an Uber, just to see how expensive it would be, to my surprise it was relatively cheap so I set out for home before it got worse.
Got here and fed the pets, then Teamed the FWiB. That was nice.
Now time for bed.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. John and Denise.
3. Fireflies.
4. Friends.
5. Rice Crispy treats.
6. Cooler weather.
