Just An Ordinary Day
How Lucky are We.
Wednesday was a gorgeous day here in the Hamptons. I started the day with an early Zoom meeting, and it just happened that Daisy had a grooming appointment late morning out in Springs. So, off we went to drop her off. We had several things to get done—personal and professional, but really no set schedule (I know—how great is that?) It takes about an hour and a half for the grooming, so we had the choice of driving back to Sag Harbor, running errands, and/or entertaining ourselves close by. Since one of us needed to have bloodwork done for an upcoming medical appointment, and it was an “off” time—not yet lunch hour—we took a chance of stopping by the Stony Brook Lab services office in East Hampton. We were in luck! Just one person ahead, we were in and out of there in 10 minutes! And lucky again, we were getting hungry, and there is a Goldberg’s Bagels in the adjacent group of stores. We picked up a sandwich, and my husband said, “I have an idea of where we should have lunch.” We spent many special summers in East Hampton some 30 years ago, so we still recall many of the more scenic spots. And in just a few minutes, there we were, sitting beside Three Mile Harbor munching away. We listened to the radio. A gentle breeze blew through our open car windows. With minutes to spare we picked up Daisy… simply adorable of course, and headed back to Sag. How fortunate we are to spend our days in this beautiful place we call home. It was good to spend some time in East Hampton and driving the back roads most of the way home. And as always it was such a great feeling to get back home, to be able to work the second half of the day in these incredible surroundings and to end the day with a walk through the Village. I’m counting blessings.

As an aside, here is how Daisy spent her morning a few days earlier, when it truly felt like summer. Many thanks to Paco who kept this goofy group of misfits having fun and out of trouble. Daisy came home ready for a nice long nap.
