The other day I was talking to a friend about how our lives have changed since Covid. While I don’t hide inside, I don’t over program myself the way I once did. One activity goes on my calendar a day. Then whatever happens…well, it happens.
Today is August 7th and the activity on the calendar was book club. We met at a park near the Pybus Market in Wenatchee and had a lovely picnic. We had a beautiful view of the river and the boat launch which added to our enjoyment.
But the day was far from over. After a delicious lunch and lively discussion of books, Joanne and I were off to Cashmere. We volunteer at the library for kids’ events. Today was the party for the end of summer reading program. I helped the kids make party poppers. They then went to another area where they got to play games with their party poppers. There were also other tables with more crafts for the kids to make.
After the party, we wandered over to the Methodist church for a community dinner. I met new people and even invited one of them to attend the next meeting of our writers group in Wenatchee.
Last stop was Bath and Body Works at the mall in East Wenatchee. I love my Champagne Toast! It has replaced my all-time favorite of Warm Vanilla Sugar.
It’s after seven and I’m finally home. And it’s reflection time.
On August 7th, 1992 I lovingly held Kelsey in my arms when he took his last breath. He’d led a happy and healthy life until then. Although it’s been years, I still think of him often. And I imagine him surrounded by other furry playmates up in doggie heaven.

Sounds like a full day you had. I love Champagne Toast and B&BW! I also love their Midnight Blue Citrus scents as well, they carry throughthe house very well. I have to stay away from that store or they’re likely to see me broke lol
Your pup is very cute and it’s always hard when we lose our furry friends. I’ve had two dogs in my lifetime, Taz who was a Collie/German Shepherd mix and then my son’s dog Paw, an american bully. They were both good with kids and had the sweetest personalities. Both very good boys. I miss them both. ❤️
Sixteen years later I did the same thing when it was Koal’s turn to leave this world. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do in my life. I’m like you. I miss them a lot.
B&BW is always my first stop when I get back from Mexico and my last stop before I return to Mexico.
Unexpected full days are quite tiring but always fun. I have great friends I enjoy spending time with.
