We had lunch with our younger son yesterday, then he and I shopped for books and found a couple, as usual. When have I ever gone into a bookstore and not bought a book? Never happened. Yesterday was real summer weather and I love it but am conflicted, as warmer temperatures must not be good for putting out the fire. They say it may be contained by Sept 10, but that seems like a long time away.
Yesterday I put out clothes for our trip. Yes, my husband's as well. I pick out what I want to see him in, because his choices can be weird, as well as strange for the weather. I pack pretty efficiently now. My model is my older daughter, who can pack a small bag and make it work. All the kids are better than we are. I think it is a generational thing. So anyway, I lay the clothes out on the spare bed, thinking it over a couple of days, then I get down the suitcases, then check my list and finally, a day before, pack and see if it all fits. We have fairly small rolling bags, so sometimes it doesn't, and the culling process begins. My weak points are shoes and jackets. This time I'm attempting to get by with a shell raincoat, a sweater jacket, and a cotton unlined car coat. We shall see.
