While Alan curled up on the couch for a late morning nap, we relaxed in the backyard, breathing in the sweet desert air. I felt grateful for a space of time which would enable me to finally tackle the second Twilight book, left abandoned (half read) since Christmas vacation. Then, after lunch Alan was a little relunctant to head to the pool, indicating that he didn't want to go under water. This was clearly anxiety, but with reassurance he in the end, swam like a fish along side the shallow end for more than an hour. He spotted a very attractive woman, and told me that she was the most beautiful lifeguard he had ever seen. When Bootie introduced him to one of her friends, he said, "I'm Alan Cactus Palm Tree", and laughed and then told the man his real name.
Bootie cooked a fabulous chicken barbeque dinner and then more relaxation. Now, Bob and I are about to head to the movies....I admit being a little tired. It's only in the 6pm hour in AZ, but my body still feels like 9pm, so I am feeling tired, but it will be fun to catch a movie with Bob. You can hear Alan's favorite opera coming from Booties bedroom, so no one will even notice we've left.....
One more note on this vacation. Though Bob feels like his hands need a break from playing music, I must admit that I am really missing having music in the house. (we didn't bring any stringed instruments, just Alan's Uke) No matter if it's a group of sea chantey singers, classic guitar, folkie traditional music or a Pete Seeger banjo retrospect, I will always appreciate him for the music that he brings to my life. Anyway, just random thoughts and now I am off to the movies! :)
