What a great, relaxing day. Carol & I picked-up my mom just before 9 o'clock and drove up to Diane's house in Michigan. Traffic was almost non-existent. We hung around, had lunch, and went into the pool.

Yes, I actually put on a bathing suit and got into the pool. It's been over a decade since I've done that. Was in the water for a few hours, tossing these floating balls back and forth down the length of the pool. For some reason, the dogs (well, Chelsea more than Gracie) just love to chase the balls. Chelsea even tries to get them out of the pool. She got a bit excited and actually fell in and I had to scoop her up and push her out of the pool.
Even though Harbert, Michigan is a very very quiet little town, we've been hearing sirens that seem to be going up and down Read Arrow Highway. Then there have been an ambulance and a (cool looking) Rescue Hummer that went screaming down the road out front, coming from the beach. Something is up.
After a few hours of thrashing around, I got real nauseous and got this huge headache, so I crawled out of the pool, got dressed, and laid down and the couch and passed-out for a few hours. I have no idea what that was about.
Dinner tonight, again cooked by Diane and Melinda, was steak and lobster tails, corn and baked potatoes, all done on the grill. I was still not feeling the greatest, and I felt bad for not eating everything, but it was all very good. That was the first time I had grilled lobster tail and I could definitely do that again!
So, we watched what little TV we could up here (no cable, no satellite) - watched coverage of 4th of July festivities from Washington, Boston, and New York. There weren't any fireworks up here today - we're doing that tomorrow night (fireworks at 11pm just sounds late to me...)
Off to bed - can barely stay awake...

Time for another Friday Five...
1. What were your favorite childhood stories? I have no recollection of any stories or books. Don't know why.
2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children? Have no idea since I can't remember any.
3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything? Again, I don't remember reading anything.
4. How old were you when you first learned to read? Wow. I don't know. 5 or 6 maybe.
5. Do you remember the first 'grown-up' book you read? How old were you? Don't remember that at all.
Wow, this was enlightening...
