Every morning Tom and I would drink coffee together and read the New York Times (I know not a positive way to start the day) . One thing I loved was that Tom could always define words that I didn't know. He was good at spelling too. It was like being married to a living dictionary. Even Alzheimer's didn't take that away. I miss that.
Today reading the Times I came upon two words and had to look them up. Made me miss Tommy. The words were solipsistic and idiocracy. I love the definition if idiocracy..it is actually funny if not incredibly true of our government.
I am now sipping coffee and reading the Times at Long Lake, a short fifteen minute drive from Greta and Zach's home. I am right on the lake in a little "camp" as they call it in Maine.
I love it here. It is peaceful and so pretty. I can kayak on the lake and swim. The water is warm.
So this is my final destination. It is worthy of a 14 day drive.
Greta and I have had a great time too. We planted a perennial garden, sent postcards we made to the new friends we made at our Sweden retreat and made some really good meals. Greta is a good cook. My mother would be proud..and I am too.
Today my Mackay friend Julie arrives and Tuesday my Boise friend Bonnie arrives.
Oh boy..!!
BTW: The meaning of SOLIPSISTIC is of, relating to, or characterized by solipsism or extreme egocentricity. I bet you can figure out idiocracy.
