Hi Darlin’,
Had a fabulous night sleep, especially because I had put my earplugs in so I wouldn’t hear the traffic going by on A1A, and when I woke up, Lola was still curled up in her bed, looking like she never moved all night! After getting dressed we both headed downstairs and had a nice breakfast. Miraculously, there was a launch that had been scheduled at Cape Canaveral yesterday that was postponed until today, and for once, it actually went off on time! I’ve been so close to seeing a launch only to have it canceled so many times, I was thrilled to actually see one! Right on the deck, right at 10:00, the Falcon 9 rocket took off. Fabulous! Afterward, Toni and Lola and I took another walk on the beach, this time going north instead of south, and once again, Lola played with other dogs along the way, tried to make friends with everybody, fetched impressively as always, and generally had a great time. The water was a bit rougher, I was concerned about the undertow, so kept her out of it for the most part. We got back and had a nice lunch, then everyone read for a bit before a football game came on. The two games today were to decide who would go to the Super Bowl, but it’s the first football I’ve watched in a VERY long time, so it didn’t really matter to me, I didn’t know hardly any of the players. Toni had invited some friends over for cocktails, a couple that were both authors, one of historical fiction, another a business book, so we swapped stories of various strategies for publishing. She gave me copies of her two books, and I gave her one of my horse camping books, and we chatted for a bit. After they left, we had a nice chicken dinner, then settled down to watch the second game, which was Buffalo against the KC Chiefs. I had heard from Facebook posts that Buffalo was having a good year, but they were beaten up pretty well by the Chiefs, so didn’t make it to the Super Bowl. Toni and I both went to bed at the end of the third quarter, and I went looking for Lola, then discovered she had already sneaked upstairs when no one was looking and was curled up in her bed already. Good girl! I wasn’t long after her, and fell asleep pretty quick after that. Another lovely day with our friends! Wish you had been there, we all miss you! Love you, sweetie!
