Hey Sweetie!
A late night followed by a medium late morning, got my chores done, had a small breakfast as I was expecting my old friend Steve to come by today. The last time we saw him was at his wedding in Alfred, NY, hard to believe it was nearly five years ago now! He arrived right on time around 11:30, we chatted for awhile, then drove down to Matt's Place, the nearest restaurant, and one that you and I used to ride to when we were here, and had a great burger. Got back to camp where we broke open a bottle of wine he brought, which was later followed by a bottle of Biltmore wine that I had from my time volunteering there, and we had a spectacular afternoon of talking about times, old and new, and generally getting caught up on each other's live. We reminisced about the various Republican National Conventions that we all worked at as speech coaches, all of our family lives, and just never ran out of conversation all afternoon. We also climbed up the tower so he could have a good look at the wonderful view up there. He finally left after 7:00 just as a thunderstorm was making it's towards us, and I finally settled down for the evening. What a wonderful, memorable day. Again, feels like old home week visiting with all these high school buddies! So glad I decided to come to NYS this summer! Wish you were here! Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
