travels with Ray

Oh, my gosh! It is so nice and cool here. I have on jeans and socks and am contemplating a sweater! Molli and Ray are asleep, it's good sleeping weather, I guess, but I would love to be out and about, plus I am going to have to eat something soon.

I really like their funny little old apartment with high ceilings. They have art on the walls, that Adrian put up. I miss him a lot, but with just three of us, it's not too crowded here. I am very happy and relaxed. I can sit around in my nightgown and not be uncomfortable. We all know each other really well and enjoy each other's company. Poor Molli has been lonely here, especially this summer, and we are glad to spend time with her, too.

Yesterday, I made dinner: chicken, corn on the cob from a street/farmer's market, and green beans. It was all good and there is just room for three at the small table. We took our wine up to the roof to watch the sunset and admire the view.

The only thing is, there is constantly traffic in the highway below the windows. Sometimes sirens or beeping or machinery, but mostly always cars going by, at least until after I was asleep and as soon as I woke up. It's great that the weather is cool and we have the windows open all the time, but the noise is wearing to this country girl.

The flight from Durham yesterday was very quick. We had breakfast from Monuts and got some donuts and bagels to take to Molli. We were on the ground in Boston about 10:30. We met Molli at the subway and had lunch in her apartment. We walked about 3 miles, with the dog, Osa, who is also very glad of our company. She has been alone in the apartment a lot, with Molli working and going to school. Molli has cleaned everything in preparation for our arrival and is letting us use her bedroom, sleeping on the couch herself. Fortunately, it is a very comfy large couch.
