I just (finally) CUOPed from yesterday. We a busy day and I didn't even look in after posting yesterday a.m. We went in the afternoon to a downtown tour of homes - it was all apartment home and interesting to see some of the new properties, but we're not looking for an apartment or new home at all. These were also more than dd would pay - all new apartments, tho some in older buildings. We did get in a lot of steps, but I got overheated. At one place we had to walk a couple of long blocks in the afternoon sun and I'm just not used to it. Once home, I had to get in bed for a bit to rest and cool down. I really felt terrible. I need to build up my exposure to afternoon heat and sun. I had done sunscreen on face and arms so didn't burn at least.
Once I got up it was just about time to go to dfriends' home for the evening. She is such a cook and made a wonderful light dinner and we ate outside under their trees. She had salmon, roasted veggies (eggplant, tomatoes, artichokes, olive oil, capers? what else? it was wonderful!) and a caprese salad (tomatoes, mozzarella, balsamic vinaigrette and basil), with fruit for dessert. Later we went to a small bluegrass concert - very small neighborhood venue. Started the concert very late and the leader said their fiddle player had "disappeared." The music was fun - I don't think I had heard "Mountain Dew" in years and years.
Exhausted by last night, of course. Dh and dd have gone to costco, I need to have my brunch smoothie and clean up kitchen soon.
Busy week ahead, I won't be able to go off on genealogy tangents. We're leaving next Saturday for a week at the beach. (OK, I won't be able to go off as much.
)
