Phried Fone Warning

Not only precious children, not only precious pets, but now include precious iPhone in this warning: Do not leave them in the car on a hot summer day.

My habit is to leave my phone in the car during painting class. I don't want it to disturb us, and I certainly don't want to risk getting paint on it. When I left after today's lesson, I checked for messages and mail only to see a frightening graphic with WARNING! Temperature too hot for use! (or something equally terrifying) With a/c blasting, I located a safe cradle to allow cooling but not too rapidly. Who knows whether a sudden drop might cause cracking of some sort, a catastrophic sort!

About fifteen minutes later, with bated breath (sometimes trite is the only way to go), I checked once more and found operations normal. Whew! Another disaster averted! Oh Ippy, I will never leave you unattended in heat again!!!

(Something is so wrong to think of an iPhone being in heat. Is there an app for that?)

Concan Sunset

A typical sunset keeps us outside until dark. And then some.

Al fresco dining in Concan

A wonderful dinner on the porch while waiting for sunset viewing!

Sahawe Dancers

At the end of the performance, granddaughters joined the troop to learn the Rabbit Dance. Quite a cultural experience that enthralled them!

Utopia

Anywhere we're together!

Airport 3

Just dropped younger daughter and friend at airport. Hard to do because I understand the greater meaning. Forcing myself to focus on the best ever family time all together. I say that every time and I always mean it.

Trips 1 and 2 were celebrations of homecoming, this third trip another story of willing myself to remember the way her hair smells.

BBQ

Gotta get some soon after arrival in Texas. At least according to our Washington and Minnesota family. So we did. The name of the joint is Heavy's. And now that name fits us, too.

Airport

Second happy trip to the airport this week, three more next week, but not such happy ones then. House dynamics will soon change with children in the mix. River low and slow still manages to entice us.

Chuck

Chuck Will, wherever you are, someone is crying for your widow. Moon sliver encourages the caller's shyness, and darkness hugs us both beneath a purpling sky.

Sprucing

Must be Saturday. Birds clamoring for the birdbath, as many as five at a time splashing, churning the water into feathery explosions, exchanging places with newcomers, continuing the ritual.
