Last day of summer

Beautiful day: cool and crisps in the morning; warm and sunny in the afternoon; a whisp of a breeze.  Slept in late and then finally finished "Snow" by Orhan Pamuk just in time for Tuesday's book group.  Carol B came over in the mid-afternoon and we enjoyed champagne and shrimp and cheese while playing a game of super Scrabble.  hmm...warm sun...wine...more warm sun...let's just say my scrabble scores kind of dropped off after awhile.  Had to compete with yellow jackets for the shrimp...finally gave them their own plate at the other end of the table and they seemed to leave us alone...yellow jackets LOVE shrimp!
