Well, the last of the kids has returned to Texas. After six weeks of fun and family time, Banjo Man and I are now alone.

With a duck.

More about that tomorrow.

Summer weather has kicked in, as of Monday evening, with temps of 90 and higher. Will the water warm up enough so I will actually swim?

Maybe.

No promises.

Banjo Man’s birthday is tomorrow. Today we’re going to celebrate with friends by having lunch in town. We haven’t seen them yet this summer, so we are so looking forward to catching up! Tomorrow I will bake an angel food cake (haven’t done that yet this summer either) and will serve it with sliced peaches as I sing “Happy Birthday” on the dock.

With a duck.

Dorothy has become rather attached to Banjo Man, so maybe she’ll even quack along.
