yesterday the girls, hubby and I loaded all the four wheelers and wnt to Appalachia Bay aka Motorcycle Island. The girls rode their four wheelers by themselves through the trees and across the beaches where we stopped to play and swim, when we got home we sat on the deck while the girls swam in the pool and watched the fireworks going off around us...wonderful day in my opinion.

It's been a long day with the heat and humidity, and worrying about the possibility of sustantial rainfall before the river goes back down to normal.
The best thing today was the sinfully delicious Cherry Cheesecake Concrete Mixer I got from Culvers. Ice cream with real cherries, cheesecake flavor, even tiny chunks of graham cracker.
Second best was finding two of Michelle's books at my library. Maybe that means they'll be getting more HF. (Michelle, sorry I ranked you behind the Mixer but if you'd tasted it I'm sure you'd understand).

I finished my copyedits with one day to spare! Yay! The copyeditor was a martinet (in the best possible way, of course) and saved me from more than one howler--I feel as if I've been (as we say here in Texas) rode hard and put up wet. But it's done done DONE, and my houseguests are GONE (I do love the kids but holy cow, is it good to have the house to ourselves again) and I'm taking today OFF!
