Monday, June 30: Relaxing day with Kathy and Kent, including more touring the city, a stop at the frozen yogurt place, and seeing the new apartment that one of their sons recently moved to.

 
Tuesday, July 1: Mr. K and I drove home. Stopped at the most picturesque rest area on the route. The sun wasn’t setting this time as it’s summer but still a nice open view.

 
Wednesday, July 2: Wildflowers by the side of the road as seen when out walking.

 
Thursday, July 3: Time to re-blue my hair. Experimenting with some colors I got off the clearance table, which I maybe need to stop doing, since if they turn out nice, I’ll not be able to re-create this combination easily.

 
Friday, July 4: Mr. Karen and I did something we’d never done before: watched fireworks from the sailboat. It did rain part of the time, which wasn’t ideal, but still glad we did it.

 
Saturday, July 5: Stopped my friend’s studio space in the city on the way to another friend’s birthday party to check on this pipe that had been leaking (the friend whose space it is was otherwise occupied on the holiday weekend but I was pretty much driving right by).

 
Sunday, July 6: Took a walk down a street that had only one house on it when we bought ours; now almost all the lots are built on, with some in progress this summer. At least when they’re done there will be less construction traffic and noise.
