7/9 – Tuesday

Didn’t hear the trains last night. Must have slept really well.

Cap had already left for work when I finally stumbled out of bed. Breakfast, thanks to Jan, was raspberries on toast, and it was yummy.

I also had two cups of coffee, and the coffee is really good. I hope we have similar results when we get home to our new coffee making system.

We took a walk – it was a great morning with a nice breeze and only a hint of possible showers, which did not happen. I walked up the road to the gate where the trail starts, overall probably about three miles round trip.

When we got back we headed out to 1)return expired bear spray to REI, 2) stop by CVS for a cream that may help Julie with her bruising, 3) get postcards for the girls, and 4) get lunch. We got all of that done. Lunch at Plonc was excellent. We all had BLTs and they were wonderful.

From there home. We watched a movie – Lion – on Netflix, and it was excellent. Not a dry eye in the house.

Julie took a nap, and I ‘powered’ through because Cap would be home soon. And when he got home we had drinks and sat on the north porch in awe of the wonderful scenery. Jan and Julie joined us after a while. It was really nice.

For dinner Cap helped me grill the lamb, and it came out pretty well if I do say so. And dinner was great.

After cleaning up, Jan, Julie and I watched the latest episode of Endeavor, and it was good. I think I may have been the only on not to sleep during it.

And now it’s past bedtime. Adieu.
