i wonder how many miles i've fallen by this time?

The weather this summer hasn't been bad at all. In fact, I haven't been miserable with heat for more than a week so far. More often than not, the temperature hasn't even been in the triple digits and every once in a while you get days like today.

Today has been perfect; the sun is out, there's a soft, light breeze every so often and no one is even breaking a sweat. I sat outside today with my best friend and her family while "the boys" washed the boat (we're supposed to go to Laughlin this weekend). For lunch I ate chicken wings and drank a few beers. It was lovely. When the wings were all gone, I taught Andrea's cousin Zooey how to catch (she starts kindergarten tomorrow) and then I let her play with my hair. She said she was going to make me look like a silly princess and believe me, she wasn't lying. When she left she gave me the biggest hug ever and if that hug is the last good thing to happen today then I'm okay with it.

Now the evening is approaching and dinner is being cooked. There is homemade salsa and guacamole being made and hot dogs are on the grill. Pretty much, today has been one of the most perfect days I've ever experienced in California. Nothing is out of place and everything is wonderful.
