06-26-2005 That Coffee Place
Sunday, June 26, was very warm early in the morning as I took my coffee over to the pond. We watched RV after RV leave bright and early this morning, including the family of four on our streetside. We have no one left around us now. After breakfast we cleaned up and drove to Paw Paw. I dropped Bob off at The Busy Bee Indoor Flea Market (the largest indoor flea market in Michigan) while I took the laptop to That Coffee Place. I had another Pink Bunny Iced Cappuccino while I spent just over one hour catching up on 23 days of on-line tasks (update virus and other software, check electronic bill payments, download emails, upload journal pages and photos, and reply to emails.) Lots of things pile up as the weeks roll by. It felt good to get it all done. The wi-fi was fast so it all went well. The paper machine outside was empty so I drove by the one in front of the grocery downtown and bought a Big Kalamazoo Gazette Paper Day. Bob had just emerged from The Busy Bee Flea Market as I pulled up so the timing was perfect.
Back home we polished off La Cantina leftovers, cut up our watermelon from yesterday and watched the US Open. Birdie Kim (a recent fortuitous name change) holed out a sand shot on number 18 for an improbable win; foiling the chances of Pressel Morgan, the amateur. We read the paper, worked the puzzles and then Bob went to the pond to fish since the place has cleared out for the weekend. I stayed behind in the cool RV (high of 94 today with 92% humidity!) Some clouds and brief rain hit just north of here this afternoon. Counties near us reported flooding. We didn't get a drop.
I called my friend Jean in Austin and had a nice chat this evening. Bob came home later with horrible tales of marauding mosquitoes. We watched Inspector Lindley Mystery on PBS. Two cute dachshunds came by in their owner's truck; heads hanging out the window. They're never out when I walk by his 5th wheel. It's too hot for them I guess, especially since the female is a new mother.
It's 10:53 p.m. and 72.9 degrees.
