Today was a perfect little gem of summer in a lot of ways, from the moment I got up. I woke to the stretching paws of kitties tap-tap-tapping on me in their quest for food and entertainment and popped up to feed and scratch them as their little fuzzy faces demanded. Then I went back to sleep. Sometimes I think that's the best part of getting up early in the morning, really. The going back to sleep in a cozy bed thing.

I returned my marvelous chariot to the rental car place and then juked out to my in-laws' house, windows and sunroof open, with a large sack of Granddaddy's vegetables in tow. I sat and chatted with my mother-in-law for hours about lots of things, then we stuffed ourselves silly on the simple summer joy of fresh boiled corn and ham and tomato sandwiches.

To cap it off, I swung by Damascus's well-kept and fabulous secret, Jimmie Cone, for a summer favorite-- a chocolate-vanilla twist cone with rainbow jimmies. (Yes, I Lactaid-ed myself. I'm not that masochistic.) Now I'm putting together my rocking chairs and watching Grease, and I'm sure I'll crash here momentarily and crawl back in bed with the cats. Yes-sirree Bob, it's been a great day.
