Three beautiful things from my past week:<\/p>\n
1. Karen and I are at the farthest point of our stroll when the raindrops start. They feel amazing, finally giving a solid form to the humidity. As does the light drizzle that follows. By the time we are halfway back, it’s a solid downpour, soaking our clothes, soddening our shoes and socks, and puddling in the pathway. But we are together, and that makes it more delightful than not.<\/p>\n
2. Rudi and I scoot over to Arlington to pick up my summer reading prize on the last day and then opt to go out for drinks at a local coffee and wine bar with a patio. He reads to me and I to him, and I knit a bit, and the weather is perfect for sitting together.<\/p>\n
3. In our Scrabble match, Dad comes back on day two of the game (we went on pause for dinner and came back the next day) to trounce me, scoring back-to-back triple word scores, including one using the “z.” Best loss I’ve had in a while.<\/p>\n
