The Day Between

Did I mention we are in the middle of a major heatwave? It was the hottest I can remember here at the ocean's side. It is traditional that our summer fog leaves the moment the kids go back to school and this year was no different except to the extreme. It was in the 90s yesterday.

Traffic was horrible. Everyone was trying to escape the 110+ heat over the pass. We decided not to add to the madness and stayed close to home. We went to the little restaurant on the water at the harbor to celebrate our anniversary, Michael had his Lobster Roll and I had a crab and shrimp salad. We drove home and stayed in front of fans the rest of the day. Breathing was difficult and I was sweating just doing the dinner dishes (a light salad).

Today, it should be even hotter. YIKES! This morning, I need to make a cheesecake and get it into the refrigerator overnight so it is ready for Michael's big birthday tomorrow. As the kitchen windows face southwest, I need to finish any cooking this morning.

September 2 is always the day between. After we got married, we had to hang around for Michael to turn 21-years old the next day so the car insurance would kick in. One had to be a minimum of 21 to get insurance back then. We went to a local, very cool Art Faire high in the mountains, which I ended up working as William went to the elementary school who was the major beneficiary of the Faire. Funny how life works. The honeymoon from hell began on his birthday on September 3.

This day between will be spent at home cooking then Rick, Natalie and Melanie have invited us to their house this afternoon to celebrate Michael birthday. Lots to celebrate this weekend. Hopefully, the heatwave will break tomorrow and we will begin to once again enjoy our cool coastside.
