Gifts

After surviving the horrors of the Cymbalta drug reaction on Tuesday, I shakily returned to work yesterday morning and after catching up with what had amassed on my desk, having a cup of green tea and enjoying the quiet before most staff arrive, I could feel the clouds in my brain starting to fade away. Blue sky and sunshine certainly always appear in the face and friendship of my dear friend and co-worker, Nick. Yesterday he brought me these beautiful flowers from his garden and it just made my day and everyone else, coming and going, got to enjoy them as well! Nick is such a thoughtful and loving friend and a joy to work with. He creates the incredibly detailed models of the homes the firm designs and builds and if you look closely in the background of the first photo you will see one of his models.

To my friends and family not here in Chatham right now where the hydrangeas are just at their peak of glory, I share Nick's generosity with you!!

Have a great day....mine will be, I know. It is perfect summer weather, the moon is full, AND
LM and I have a date tonight to see the movie, "Chatham", which was filmed here in town last year. It will go in to major release in the future but will be renamed "The Golden Boys" for broader appeal. It was fun to watch the filming process and how they transformed our village
into a scene from the 1800's. We even watched the simulated burning of a local business. The whole town was abuzz when the stars, Bruce Dern, David Carradine and Margot Hemingway, were seen out and about. We will see the movie tonight at the beautiful Cape Cinema in Dennis, the scene of our very first real date almost one year ago!! Truly the most romantic date I have ever had!!

His gift to you gets to be a gift for us too. Thank you for the picture of those beautiful Hydrangas. My favorite...
