3rd, 4th, 5th
I haven’t been keeping up. I resolve to do this. Is it really too much to ask that I write every once in a goddamn while? I didn’t think so.
I am off to Plum Lake to relive my youth…or really, just hang out on the dock, swim, eat cherries, and read. You know the drill. With my fam and friends and even my Grandma, hooray! But no Jeff, that makes me :(.
(He is staying behind to supervise the de/reconstruction of the heating and cooling systems in this house. Good-bye, 1929 Octopus!)
I had an amazing holiday weekend. It started with drinks with Diana at the Independent. Naturally I rode my bike there—I can’t get enough of RIDING my BIKE! Friday was also devoted to bike-riding as Jeff and I did a mini-Grand-Rounds, cutting through downtown and Dinkytown to inspect the new stadiums (Twins and Gophs, respectively). We enjoyed smoothies in Stadium Village and then continued down the Mississippi whereupon we became exhausted. Met up with Googs and Gucc at Taste of Minnesota and decided to NEVER return, what a ridiculous event. At least the fireworks were good and Googs and Gucc were fun.
Yesterday we accomplished a few things around the house, watched the Twins (meaning, I read my book), watched some of a horrible movie and had a “fixed snack time”, then grilled out while our neighbors set off fireworks. Note, our yards are the size of mice. But whatever. Jeff prepared a lovely meal and I enjoyed my newfound margarita mix. Then off to DQ and the fireworks in the park by Kowalski’s, this is becoming a tradition. The fireworks weren’t terrific, probably because they were half obscured by the trees and we were too lazy to move. Whoops. Also we were afraid of Spitting Man. The finale was cool though, thanks Richfield!
Now I will go see my Up North friends and my dear familia, but I will miss Jeff. 🙁 Boo. If only I could relive these few days over and over my life would be content. Or at least this time of year.
Happy July!!! Best month ever!!!!!
