Happy Independence Day!
I am celebrating by turning personally patriotic...with a glorious shade of red across my back. Oh, and on my temples where I didn't put suntan lotion today when Paulette, Joe and I were at Crane Beach today. I even had SPF30 on, go figure. I kept reapplying all over everywhere else but I should have had Joe get my back one more time.
Crane Beach is gorgeous...two miles of pure, clean white sand. I love looking down the beach at all the colorful beach umbrellas, the heads bobbing in the water (which was pretty damn cold but felt great after a few hours of roasting in the 95 degree sunshine). We brought margaritas that Joe made (mmmm yummy) and cheese and crackers and Paulette brought fruit salad. Great picnic, great company and just a perfect day.
We're resting up (lying all day in the sun is draining!), cleaning up and then grabbing Paulette again, heading for drinks and then probably watching the fireworks out in Waltham or Newton...no need to brave the madhouse of the Esplanade and the million+ people that will be there. Just too damn hot and traffic gets nasty.
Tomorrow and Sunday we're heading up to my friend's cabin on the lake where we are going to lie around, drink sangria, swim, read books, play cards and be lazy.
FINALLY, summer is here.
