Came home last night to a voice message from my right-coast cousin, Marg. She and her son Jeff are out west on a visit. Yesterday she was visiting relatives up in Seattle, where they watched Boston cream the Mariners in front of a sell-out crowd. Today they and my cousins Jay and Marsha are driving down to Portland. They’ll be staying at Jack’s house, because he has room and I don’t. #1 Son and I are going over there for dinner tonight. I’m looking forward to seeing all of them. Thursday they leave for Boise, where there’s a family reunion on their father’s side of their family (i.e. not my relatives — their mother was my mother’s sister).
The weather, for once, is cooperating. It’s still too humid for my hair. But at least it’s down to the lower 80’s, cool at night, and a breeze. I have the house cooled down to about 74 now. I’m hoping to get it cooled off the rest of the way tonight, because tomorrow we head back to the 90’s for several days. Blech. But maybe the humidity will go down a bit and my hair will calm down.
