My good friend Pamela spent Sunday and Monday nights with me – we had a great time just talking, watching birds, and playing Scrabble. I went to Little Rock on Tuesday for a hair appointment, and on Wednesday afternoon, Alison and I went shopping. Later that evening, Kelly H came for dinner – so good to catch up with her! I’ve also gone to several yoga classes and spent time chatting and drinking coffee with David and Alison.

I was happy to fetch John from the airport on Saturday! We drove straight to Burns Park to meet up with the McClellan High School Class of ‘82 reunion. John had a blast visiting with high school friends (he transferred to Mountain Home his junior year).

The weather has been gorgeous except for a couple of days that hit 90 — but this morning fall is definitely here!

I spent some time this week completing my absentee ballot and will get it in the mail!

Countdown week to vacation was pretty chill – pretty much work as usual and just trying to wrap things up in order to leave. I had book club on Thursday; I didn’t read the book, but enjoyed a glass of wine with Lea and Rachel B after work before we met up with the other book clubbers at a wine bar.

Then I was off work on Friday and headed to the airport in the late afternoon for my red eye flight – everything was smooth sailing and I was at the lake by noon. I was totally pooped (despite sleeping well on the plane), so I just made a grocery store run and stayed in the rest of the day. I visited with a few neighbors and read on the porch.

I finished Chanel Miller’s “Know my Name” and Steve Herz’s “Don’t Take Yes for an Answer,” and started Celeste Headlee’s “Do Nothing” – very appropriate for vacation!

This was my view as I was doing yoga on the porch this morning – a true sun salutation!
