Another glorious weekend is reaching its end. We were lucky enough to be among those who had 4 days off. I am writing this moment after Space Shuttle Discovery launched on a picture perfect July 4th afternoon.
As I was baking apple pie, I was also listening to WMFE’s Pat Dugan counting down. At 10 seconds I shook the sugar and flour off my apron, ran my hands under water, grabbed the camera and rushed outside to see if I could capture the launch. Tom had left about 10 minutes earlier to drive down to the river and get a little closer. He ended up in front our little riverfront apartment on St. Johns Street. It was packed.
Backtracking to yesterday’s aqua knitting, we took the boat to River Breeze Park and cruised toward Ponce Inlet. We never quite made it to Ponce due to possible storms but we beached on one of the many hidden islands on route. I knit on my split cable top and when it got to be too hot, jumped into the water, swam around, dried off on the swim platform and resumed knitting. It doesn’t get much better than this.
Happy Independence Day!
