Ah, Saturday morning. It is a little cooler (70 maybe) and we have the windows open, even though it is really too humid. I wake up a little before 5:30, no urgency, but plenty to do. The birds are singing and it will be light soon, there is even a rooster. After 15 minutes or so, I get up and go to my computer, looking forward to reading emails and even paying bills. Alas! Again the wireless network needs to be reset. I hate going all the way down to the basement in the dark when I'm barely awake, but that's what it takes--unplug everything for a minute and plug it back in. It's cooler in the basement. And now I am back on line.

Yesterday I did payroll. It is not particularly hard, but I have to wait for the director to approve the time sheets before I put the numbers in. I double check everything, because this is important and pretty much impossible to change. So I didn't leave until 2:30. Then Ray and I swam a bit and ran some errands before coming home. Captain and Vanessa had been to the Tanger Outlet Mall to get him some new boots (Timberlands) and socks. Then he peeled the tomatoes for me to make sauce--our own tomatoes and peppers and herbs, as well as a salad all from the garden--cucumbers, lettuce, cherry tomatoes.

Vanessa and Ray and I went to games night. It was fun; Ray and I played Trivial Pursuit. His team won, of course. Vanessa played what she described as a dumb game, buying artworks, I think, but she won. That girl likes to play games! We were home by 9:30 to eat the rest of Thursday's peach pie--yum!
