Happy Summer Solstice!  The year is new, time to do something, anything, whatever... I had the opportunity to sleep in today - no work, no side jobs, nothing much to do... so I woke up at 4:10am (do you need reviving?), yes I said I woke up at 4:10am and decided to finish the last 75 pages of my book.  So when that was one I was still up.  I balanced my check book, I e-mailed some peeps during the 6am hour, I puttered around the homestead, tried out a soaker hose and soaked myself instead, then around about 9am I went back to sleep.

I got up again around 11am and have accomplished very little since then - my kind of day!

I did make arrangements to pick up a friend and go on an adventure tomorrow, just a little day-vaca, where I plan to spoil her silly rotten, we'll pretend we're 30 years younger with no sponsibilites, no time table, only a little agenda (eat at a pub in Marine On St Croix where the creek runs under the building), visit the general store to see the jigsaw puzzles on the wall, look for the eagles nest, visit the cool eco friendlly neighborhood on the hill, hit Stillwater, and a quilt store, maybe wander around the town licking ice cream cones, take a cave tour, whatever she feels like doing.

I like to baby my girlfriends, especially the married with child-rens, I think they all need an escape day.  They may want to nap in the peaceful quiet, create some art, watch a movie, pig out on yummie treats, or help me finish off that big bottle o' wine.  Doesn't matter, it makes me happy to do some thing nice for other people.

I also am thinking about summer entertaining my family and friends, grilling, making cold salads, eating, drinking and having fun - music too... lot's of stuff to do to make room for extra peeps, might as well get started!

Love and sunshine,
