The ingredients for a good day vary. The unexpectedness of things gives texture and joy to a day:
Going to two grocery stores to get the ingredients for lasagne, then making it--for tonight's salon.
Talking to Carlene on the way there and on the way back--and hearing her excitement over a blouse I gave her (and for which she got lots of compliments at church!) and going to look at houses with her granddaughter, Mary Elizabeth, in Athens tomorrow.
Getting a present in the mail from Sandy for no particular occasion: a copy of Outlanders by Diana Gabledon, an actual thick book with a blue cover that will be good summer reading.
Getting a DVD from Netflix: Saving Grace, the movie, not the series.
Reading a draft of a friend's amazing book.
Getting an invitation to swim tomorrow--and waiting now to hear if Elena and Nathan can go with us--or whether or not I'll visit the kids in Helotes and meet the new horse for which they traded the kicker pony Jack.
The handyman canceling just now for today--which gives me the whole afternoon to read and get ready for salon tonight.
Getting a copy of a book I ordered from Amazon: The Art of Whimsical Lettering.
Time to take a nap. Feeling peaceful and grateful. Wishing we'd gotten more rain--but the basil is once again standing up in its pot and the grass is a tad less crunchy after last night's rain.
