The boys (yes, they’re both over 50 but they’ll always be “the boys” to me) went off to their own activities today and Kay and I went for a nice long walk over to Red Hook.  There’s an Australian meat-pie bakery there that we set as our destination - great sausage rolls, tasted just like those we had last fall in New Zealand!

 

We spent the afternoon sitting in the garden again just reading and chatting and drinking pomegranate soda.  I felt my whole body relax.  I took a deep breath or two - it’s been a while since I felt I could do that -- just sit and relax and breathe.

 

Tonight we’re off to a friends’ dinner party and then I’ll drive home tomorrow.
