No wonder we eat tomatoes every day. And we have had some really tasy melons, too. Last night, we ate two of the most beautiful eggplants I've ever seen--long, light purple, almost fluorescent (Ping-Tung?).

I have been feeling really stressed. I was looking forward to these few days before we go to get things done and not have to do class work, but other stuff is crowding out my pleasure. It is a little cooler this morning, which has been one of the things making me cross. Over 90 again yesterday. Ray has been sleeping in and not coming to town with me (which he is of course entilted to, since it's his vacation). That means I don't go for a swim before I come home. Plus there has been lots to do at work, which is good, because it means more hours and more money. But it eats up the time I thought I had to get ready for my trip to Mexico. Last night was a board meeting at UUFA. I have to go as past president, but I don't get to vote, so it was with reluctance that I went. On the whole, it is usually energizing and last night's was pretty enjoyable and got over before 9, so that's good.
