WHEW......what a hot and humid day and evening!!!! It is back to Misery instead of Missouri today as it was just difficult to draw a breath outside without panting. I loathe this type of weather and we haven't really had any of it except the couple of days we had in St. Pete, Florida when we were there a couple of weeks ago.
I had received a text message from Obama's campaign during the night about the selection of Sen. Joe Biden as the VP nominee......and upon having my Fr. Roast coffee with this news being shouted from the rooftops of all of the news channels, I was in strong agreement with this choice!! I have always, always liked this man....followed his career, listened to his rather elongated speeches, and enjoyed thoroughly his sense of humor which is so spontaneous. A great complimenting choice for Sen. Obama!
I cleaned the house, did some laundry, and then the 1st Lady arrived about 2:30 from Dr. Jeni and Darrel's home. We put some items together to take with us to Vance Vineyards and Winery.....for the afternoon gathering out there. And then.....we were off and met the Hanner's there. It is about a block's drive from their home and so it is almost in their backyard.
The Saxy Jazz from Jackson, MO were entertaining..........led by the sax player, Pat Schwent. She was the band director at Jackson High School for several years.....during the time that I was still directing the bands here at F'town. It is a really super group and especially to think they are from southeast Missouri and not from the STL area.........I REALLY enjoy listening to them, as well as dancing to their great music. IF....IF you ever get a chance to hear them.....GO!!!!!!
We met several other couples that are friends of ours and together....well, we REALLY had a great time and sooooo many laughs. Oh yeah....it was terribly hot and humid out there. There were not enough patio umbrellas to keep the sun off of us.....and this made it just really uncomfortable sitting there in that hot sun with such high humidity. However........being with such great friends, having some fairly good wine, and some nice appetizers that we all brought with us......well, it made for such a wonderful afternoon and evening!!!!!!
It was fun.....it was a wonderful end to the day......and I am without any uncertainty that.....
LIFE IS INCREDIBLY GREAT!!!!!!....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
