Today has been one of the days that makes living in Florida seem reasonable. It was warm but not hot; and the humidity that is the curse of our weather was gone. After a late breakfast we sat out by the pool with a drink just enjoying the world. We even had a ham bone for the dog. There are things we need to do; things we planned to do today but they will be done another day and I am glad of it.
Tonight in the early evening I was outside reading when I heard a commotion; a man yelling. It turns out that some of our neighbors was having a "domestic disturbance". After a few minutes a police car arrived. Then the woman put some things into her car and drove off. The police left shortly thereafter. No one was injured; no one arrested but it was disturbing. Marital problems happen, of course. I guess it just reminded me of the fragility of our happiness.
Though I am not a believer, the Compline service says it very nicely:
The Lord Almighty grant us a peaceful night and a perfect end. Amen.
OVER 75(!) guy - left Tampa Bay in August 2008 ending up in rural Nevada about 50 miles from Las Vegas. Married right about 40 years ago (2nd try), retired back in 2000. We travel as much as we can driving here in the US, taking cruises and the occasional international trip.
it was a great day... I remember because 10-23 was my birthday! lol
