Sat. a day of rest

I read the book

The Sons of Newport

and rested today.
It was nice to know more of the history behind, the cottages of 100 plus rooms on the ocean that were built at the end of the 1890's for billions just to show they could. They hung golden fruit on trees, had a dinner got dogs and treated the locals like servants.

John Jakes always does well in his his historical description. I like the town a lot and in early May it was not too crowded and still cool. I can imagine the crowds and the dock with the World Cup Yachts in port.

I decided I didn't have enough energy to drive 12 hrs up and back to Trinidad to see Marilyn for the Blue's festival in Eureka.

I'll swim and zumba and do swim aerobics here. I like to go to the farmer's market and now, the weekend is my only time.
