Today was the perfect day!
13It was 90 degrees the lake was warm and I went and floated in the lake on my raft. I paddled out to the middle (being conscious of boats of course) and let the waves take me back. Then after a while I put a chair in the water and read my book while the waves washed up on me. It was serine, it was blissful, it was pure relaxing. I wish I had done this every week of summer.
What have you done as of late that was pure enjoyment?

Did you happen to see the Meh deal from a couple of days ago…?
Let’s just say that a lot of Mehtizens are going to have to get more batteries to restock their refrigerators…
It sounds wonderful! I need to do something like that - it’s been ages.
Interestingly, I just saw an article about exactly that! https://tinyurl.com/2p83fz4f
(Not certain if the link will work…)
It was called “For Instant Happiness, Grab a Book and Head Outside.”
@Kyeh I love to read but rarely do it outside. At my house I get distracted by people, cars, pets, etc. At the beach or pool it’s too hot and bright, I just want to lay with my eyes closed.
@Kyeh
That’s a cute article. I love reading outside. Something about sitting in the sun with a good book is so enjoyable.
@Kyeh @Star2236 We have a “shade garden” area in a cleared space in a grove of trees, with some lounge chairs, a small table and a fire pit. I like to sit there (with an icy cold drink) on sunny days and read. I have a hammock strung for nap time. It’s usually pleasantly cooler there on all but the hottest days.
@macromeh @Star2236
Looks idyllic; I wouldn’t get much reading done if that was my icy drink!
@Kyeh @macromeh
Sounds really nice. Do you drink straight dark Myers rum or mix it with something? I like it in pina coladas and use it to make my rum cake.
@Kyeh @Star2236 I enjoy a Cuba Libre or Dark & Stormy.

(BTW, this photo was one I took last summer as a “neener-neener” taunt to a friend and former coworker when I retired.
@macromeh @Star2236
Oh, okay!
I like dark rum, too. A friend gave me a bottle of this; I like it a lot:
@Kyeh @macromeh
My dad went on a cruise probably 20 years ago and brought back a bottle of Big Black Dick Rum, its made in the caymans and that stuff I like and can drink.
While my day was not perfect it was pretty good. I got to spend a few hours in the evening doing a little work with the cacti herd.
