My throat hurts. I woke up today so early today because my mom insisted that I search in my drawers for her brown bathing suit bottom, which actually was in my drawer, but still, why did she feel it necessary to come in at 8 when the cookout we were going to wasn't until 12:30.

The cookout was so beautiful though. My aunt and uncle have an enviable home. The backyard is covered with expansive gardens of hundreds of different flowers. The pool is gorgeous, and they have a hot tub and a gas powered adobe styled fire pit. It's the nicest place. They have a hammock surrounded by green green trees secluded over near the edge of the woods. I was laying on it napping almost until Jeff came over. We weighed the same amount, which at first made me sad, but then I realized I am a woman who has curves and he's just a boy who is skin and bones. Jeff said the words, "Kels, you are pretty solid," and I wasn't sure how to take it. Whatever, Well we watched the cloud pass and said what we thought they looked like. My dad called us 'Hammockin' Skywatchers' which I thought was pretty great. What a beautiful day! Plus I got to see my girls and it was nice to not have the be the one to discipline them for once.

The rest of the night got even better which who knew if could have! We went to the something or other place in Rutland and danced old-fashioning with a large group of Finnish advocates. I love dancing that way, it's so much more fun. I can see why people back in the day used to go out dancing all the time. Even though I was really bad it was so fun. There was one dance that Parker kept trying to teach me, but for some reason my brain could not mentally process it and we looked like idiots. All the old people there were so in love and cute, and they LOVED the fact that we were there. I will for sure go back to that place because it was fun. Sorry my whole post is about the "fun" things I did all day but there's really nothing else to talk about. Fireworks are cool, especially then they are unplanned.

Go away cold!!!!
