So my new blender, Hamilton, and I have become very good friends in the last few days since his arrival at my house. We have experimented with bananas, peaches, strawberries, yogurt (strawberry and vanilla), and orange juice. It has been a lovely time.

Ok, and as a side note...yes, I tend to name inanimate objects...and the older I get (and more I am alone), the worse it becomes. It all started with Jack, my car. However, the thing I find humorous about this naming of objects is that other people fall into it...most often rather innocently. For instance, when I talk about Jack, my close friends know exactly what I am referring to...and quite regularly, I will hear them say "So, do you want to drive Jack, or do you want me to drive?" Sometimes I do things just to see reactions...and I have to confess that although this didn't start out as such a thing (it rather was born out of a VERY long and lonely drive half way across North America)...its been fun to see the reactions of various people.

So I have to confess that it has been a very uneventful time here in Cola-town. And it has been simply delightful! No place I have to be, no structure to my days, and all the time I could want. Now, I confess that it will most likely get old in a few more days...but I have simply enjoyed just being. I woke up this morning to a bright blue sky and gentle breeze...and its just as lovely when you actually walk out the door...a perfect day to read a very wordy book outside. Enjoy your day!
