Today was the type of day that I retired to get. I woke up around 6:30 when Randy got up, but I went right back to sleep and didn't get up till 9:00. Then Randy and I went for a 6 mile bike ride, stopping at Chris's Diner for a late and leisurely breakfast. Back at home Randy and I got a couple things done on our list, and then we noticed a few neighbors getting together at the RV next to us, so we joined them. They brought out some chips and dip, someone brought a bottle of wine, everyone got a chair and we sat around and talked. We talked about everything - families, jobs, vacations, costumes, pets, casinos - everything. A few hours later, as the sun started to go down, everyone went their separate ways (mostly to take out the dogs), and then we wandered over to another neighbor's place, where the conversation turned to food and restaurants. When it was too dark to see each other, that group also broke up and we came inside to great some home-made broccoli cream soup for dinner. I wouldn’t want every day to be this low-keyed, but it sure was wonderful!
