It has been a week of TOO weather.  Too hot, too muggy, too rainy, too, too, too... ...but TOODAY was the PERFECT summer day.  Yes, Goldilocks, it was just right.  My massage class came over for a potluck BBQ.  Perfect weather, perfect pool temperature, perfect company, the whole shebang.  And the perfect way to wrap up the vacation. The class is a whopping 5 members strong, including yours truly.  Three women, two men, I'm the oldest, the youngest is the other male who also shares my first name and is less than half my age.  The joke we tell is that no one can tell us apart because of the name thing, so we explain that he's the handsome young tall one with cranial hair.   The cool thing was meeting family members of my class, including some of the kids.  I love watching the relationship between parent and child- the two boys who were here (4 and 7) were adorable.  I asked the boys if they knew any jokes.   4 yo "My dog doesn't have a nose."me (prompted by his mother): "how does he smell?"4 yo "horrible" 4 yo "why did the chicken cross the playground"me "I don't know, why?"4 yo "to get to the other slide" 7 yo "what kind of cat should you never play cards with?"me "I couldn't guess"7 yo "a cheetah." 7 yo "I'm red, then orange, then black.  What am I?"me "?"7 yo "a match" And then a long bout of the 4 yo trying to make up jokes and laughing hysterically (and not quite getting why they don't work yet).  Cute! Hubby was his usual self - it's fun to watch him with a new audience.   It was nice to have this day, with friends, at home, here in this place, with the climate break we had to day.  Remember that timeless moment of weightlessness at the top of the swing, before gravity pulls you back down?  That was today. Tomorrow (Monday) is the first back to school set of meetings, kids return Wednesday.  A new year!  Next set of massage classes starts week after next, we are now two thirds of the way through.    Here we go!
