Rave - I have a full weekend of plans - a going away party for a friend, a late night special screening of an independent movie, two BBQs, and a volunteering effort at a minor league baseball game for my animal charity.
Rave - I'm leaving next Thursday to visit my parents on the lake in NH.
Rant - I have no time to do laundry etc to prep for the trip!

Rave: 73 degree weather this morning!
Rant: Husband opened all the doors and windows in the house, turned off the AC, then left for the gym. By the time I got out of the shower, it was back up to 85 degrees, humid as hell, and the house was a sauna. Grrrrrrr.

Rave: Our granddaughter and I have the same birthday, and will celebrate next week.
For her big present, her parents are taking her to Gulf World at Panama City Beach, where she will be a "dolphin trainer for the day", followed by an afternoon "swim with the dolphins" program.
She is so excited. She has always had an interest in the sea and its creatures, but even more so since her fifth grade class spent a week at the Sea Lab on the Mississippi coast in May.
Among the presents we have for her is a pretty little silver dolphin charm on a chain.
How wonderful to be turning 12 years old!
Rant: I myself will be somewhat older!

Rave: Cool enough to open the windows here in Williamsburg.
Rant: The tennis courts were too wet to play on this am.
Scarlett: I watched a nest of wrens fledge yesterday. You'd think that all the noise they make would attract every predator around.
