Manatee Lake SRA, Bradenton, FL: Decided to kick back today. Washed out some tops and hung them out to dry. Then relaxed outside reading for a while. Finished a book by James Patterson, “1st to Die”, which is part of the Women’s Murder Club series. Like his regular books better. Started the new Grisham book, “The Associate”. Walked the pretty little trail down to the lake while Mike putzed around on the computer. Steaks, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob for dinner. I also ordered tickets for the Tony-award winning musical, “Contact”, for Saturday. Looking forward to it.
