Cooler....

....with a light rain. And low humidity. Today is not the best "beach day" but we are enjoying the change. If I didn't have to work today, I'd definitely be reading a good book, writing down some of my island stories, visiting cousin Blanche, playing with Lachlan, or just organizing my notes. But working is not so bad. I have no commute, get to walk home for lunch, wear shorts & a t-shirt, sometimes work barefooted, have great employees & relaxed, laid-back customers, and am surrounded by quality, handmade items. I think I'll stay here and keep my job.
