Good morning!
I slept a little late. The sun is up. Overcast a bit. Very humid! Normally, early morning is sunny and cool. The humidity starts in late morning. Heavy already! Going to be a hot one!
A great father’s day yesterday! Thank you, Lisa!
We ended up celebrating the occasion at Lisa’s home. She cooked a super big breakfast.
My father’s day gifts were home made by Robert and Ally. They hand painted a plate and coffee mug.
They sell these paint sets for kids. Who then paint ceramic and glass pieces.
Ally did a blaze of colors on a white plate. And then signed her name Ally and 2009! Impressive!
Robert did the same with a coffee mug!
And these things are washable! I am amazed at the toys today! In fact, everything amazes me these days. If you live long enough, that is how it is. I sometimes wonder how things impact on my father who is 21 years older than me!
Then to the Coffee House on Duval to read the Sunday New York Times.
I spent the rest of the day in the cool air conditioned comfort of my home watching the U.S. Open. Who will win? Going to be an interesting day today!
Dinnertime I was out to the Gardens. Friend Skipper was playing the drums and music with his friends. Talked with many people. Had a good time!
I was hungry. So it was off to La Trattoria for dinner.
Kathy bartending. A charming person! Has become a friend.
For some unknown reason, the bar was packed. Unusual for a Sunday evening this time of the year.
I was fortunate to grab an empty seat next to a lovely lady. Lisa was her name. From Nashua, New Hampshire. Her last night in town. First time in Key West.
She loved Key West! Can’t wait to return!
She works two jobs. One is restaurant hosting. She liked La Trattoria. Her second time there this week.
I enjoyed dinner with her.
I have to do some house cleaning today. My office is in one of the bedrooms. The computer is on the desk. Papers every where! My filing system is to make piles of papers here and there. The floor, bed and chairs are all buried. Walking is difficult. You have to be carefull to step over at certain places.
Time to correct it! I have reached the point where I cannot stand the mess! And also, I am beginning to not be able to find things!
Talk with you tomorrow!
Hello Lou! It was a pleasure to dine with you as well, and your history of the island was so interesting I feel like I know some secrets!
I actually have 3 jobs, photographing weddings during "the season" is my best weekend gig and on Saturday when we were at A&B"s upstairs there was a beautiful reception going on…. I wondered what their photographer would do with so much ambiance!
Can't wait to return and catch up with you again!
