A Good Day
May 10, 2018
We’ve had some rough days in our new life here in Washington, DC, so it is a pleasure to share the good day we had last week.
First, the pre-heat-wave-weather was gorgeous--cloudless sky, temperatures in the low-seventies. Washington in the spring is graced with thousands of blossoming trees from weeping cherries to dogwoods and redbuds, not to mention acres of daffodils and tulips and other spring flowers I haven’t seen in New England.
Second, we had our first visit to Peter’s new physical therapist, and although a long drive away, Josh was worth the trip.
Third, Peter liked Josh well enough to trust his barber shop recommendation, and we went there for a much-needed (in my opinion, not his) haircut.
And, if that wasn’t enough, a resident of our retirement community celebrated her hundredth birthday. She stood greeting friends for her entire champagne reception. (I, at eighty, eventually had to sit down.) She still writes poetry. A haiku of hers was just published in The Washington Post.
All in all, a good day.
Lovely to hear about your good day. It's time you enjoyed a few of them after all the not so good.
