Same song, same verse—heat and humidity continue to dominate the weather. Thus, no afternoon activities and only a few morning ones. Kay played pickleball Monday, Tuesday, and golf on Wednesday. I had church meetings all morning on Monday and lazed about on Tuesday, piddling around the house. Kay had a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday, and I had one on Wednesday—all’s well! Things changed on Thursday as I had a difficult early, early morning with the beginning of a vicious intestinal bug; consequently I remained in all day, close by the “facilities.” Kay used the “down” time to finish packing. The nasty bug continued to dominate my activities on Friday, but Kay and I had to reorganize the potted plants and set up an irrigation system for them. And waiting to the last minute, as usual, I packed fly fishing gear, camera equipment, and other electronics, and clothes. Together, we packed the car. A few minutes were squeezed into an otherwise busy day to photograph hummingbirds.
