Through Thick and Thin

It is very hot outside and the forecast shouts only hot, hot hot days. A weather station (Brookstone's finest) on the fridge, displays only 100 degree temps for the rest of the week. I am banished to read cookbooks and plan dinner parties.......but stand warned......no dinner parties till the weather breaks.(email me for the date and time of Thanksgiving....I am looking at Sept 20th)

I feel bitchy and unsettled. A head ache has limited me to the little desk with my PC. Finding my, MYSPACE page was exciting,(I had to google myself to find it!) looking at friends pages was such a thrill (note sarcasm) I am trying to calm myself from such excitement. Interesting fact: I discovered a friend, well kind of a friend, moved to San Antonio. Merde, when did THAT happen and Merde, how lame is it that I discovered the "news" via Myspace?

Have you ever noticed that as you get older, your circle of friends change? They become the sort of friend who is prepared to stick with you through thick or thin. (it might be called the male pattern baldness theory for friends) The self involved thin skins vanish, and true friends, friends of the heart stay forever. Turning 50 does have perks.

I did hitch a ride with Larry South this week. He had meetings all the way down to the beach and an important meeting in Corpus when we arrived. Yes, I was dumped here and there, making my own adventure as I went....not to mention avoiding the seniors while I was hanging out waiting for a ride. ( Larry says I am a senior magnet. Lucky me)

Spending time with beloved family is always a treasure. Thank you Holly, and Lon (my cousins) Your support, love and friendship has meant the world to Larry and myself. It makes me sigh and whisper, "Thank You". It was fun being at the Gulf with you all.

Break time is over. Off I go to plan a menu for the next gathering of friends.......stay cool, breathe, smile often, enjoy your moments and remember that I love you. Me.
