Afternoon.
You are sitting under a palm tree in the east lot of Publix near McD's near the
bridge. You bought Egg McMuffins for lunch. Carol is on page forty-one of The
House of Secrets by Brad Meltzer and Tod Goldman. The temperature is
seventy-one and no clouds. Kim, Paul and the boys took a drive to Sarasota and
Siesta Key in the morning and should return by mid-afternoon. Linda, Bill and
Jean are supposed to come over for supper since this is the only time Jean can
see everyone. You are feeling better after taking a pain pill about an hour
ago. - Amorella
1358 hours. It was a beautiful but cool
morning looking out over the Gulf with placid greenish white-capped waves
topping the high tide. Sitting in the car is quite comfortable, more so than
any place in the condo. Carol worked on trimming her email, etc., while I
watched the senate hearing on CNN. Last night while Carol read I watched most
of the film Scully with Kim and Paul after the boys went to bed. After
supper we played games at the dining room table. Kim, Paul, Carol and Owen
played a card game and I played checkers with Brennan. We had a lot of fun. It
is quite enjoyable interacting with the boys, neither spent time with 'baby
talk' and both do well with conversation; Owen is obviously better with a
stronger vocabulary but I am quite proud to see/hear both engaging with adults
on their own levels. Kim and Paul spend a lot of free time interacting
positively with Owen and Brennan; it shows. We are quite proud of their
parenting skills also. This is a fun trip. Going to Sarasota was on their
agenda; we were wholeheartedly invited along but decided they deserve time for
their own pleasurable family adventures. It was fun sitting around this morning
although Carol decided to do a load or two of wash. We also relaxed and read
the morning paper. (1420)
