First time since we've been here that we woke to gloomy, overcast skies. It was a little cooler with a light breeze. The humidity seemed to be just a bit less, too. Whew. Breathe.

Frank and I went to Hale, dropping the trash first at the transfer station, then stopping at the Fish store, a thrift shop. I found a corduroy jacket/blazer and a couple of nicer tops. It was really busy in there at that particular time, and we were glad to leave.

Back at the lake, Frank's friend and housemate John arrived.

They have had a nice time together--going through the jet boat that Dan has for sale (John brought his truck "in case he wants to buy it", tools so he could fiddle with it, and a marine battery--think he's serious about buying it??). They've fixed foods, went out in the rowboat (the first time John's ever rowed a boat), and basically enjoyed being together.

The weather cleared mid-afternoon, turning hot again, but maybe a titch less humid.

We sat out in the screen room this evening watching the bugs and listening to the big splashes coming from the lake.

It's beautiful here. Thank you, God.

And thank you for reading. Hugs.
