It's quite pleasant here this morning; down to 74 upstairs. I slept well.

Yesterday, Ray slept late and we managed to fiddle around so that we didn't leave here until after 11. I picked some things in the garden. I was supposed to meet Deb at 12:15 for lunch, so I didn't even go in to the ALT office. I parked there and walked to Graze and waited about 15 minutes. We had a very pleasant lunch and I walked back, getting there about 1:30. Of course, I was missing the staff meeting! For some reason, I can't remember that Tuesday at 1 is the staff meeting. Every week. No big news.

Worked on the Volunteer Handbook for a while. At 4:30, the Todds and Laura (the intern) met with us to de-brief the bike ride. Almost everything was favorable and we made nearly $1500. They started right in talking about next year, which I still think is premature. I think we could probably make $3000 next year, and maybe $5000 eventually. We will change a lot of things, the biggest being to make the race a loop. They are talking about starting and finishing in Washington for one thing, and having longer and shorter  loops. But I am not convinced it is the best way to raise money, when you consider time invested.

Went to my parents' to pick up some potato salad and peaches. Ray met me there. He was having a drink when I got there and my Dad urged me to sit down and wait. But of course, I was already hungry and we had to stop and buy yogurt and go home and make supper, so I firmly refused over and over.

After supper, I gathered the potatoes my Dad had dug and brought them in. He is planning to harvest and water everything today. Watched TV and got to bed at a reasonable hour.
