I just got back from the dog park and realized I never answered your question about that hiking trail. Honestly, I think we should try the one up near Bear Mountain – it’s not too steep and the view is incredible this time of year. I checked the forecast and Saturday morning looks clear. Let me know if you want to carpool. I have a small cooler we can bring sandwiches and plenty of water. Also, Dave mentioned he might join us if we start early. I’ll grab some snacks Friday night. Let me know what works for you.

Oh, and about the book club meeting – I’m perfectly fine with Wednesday instead of Thursday. I actually have a dentist appointment Thursday afternoon anyway. I already finished the first three chapters and I’m really enjoying it. The author’s writing style reminds me of that novel we read last spring.

Anyway, talk soon!

I finally started organizing the garage last weekend and found a box of old vinyl records from college. I’d totally forgotten about them – some classic rock, a few jazz albums. I’m thinking of getting a turntable just to listen to them again. It’s amazing how much good music I used to own before everything went digital. Also, my neighbor asked if I could water her plants while she’s away next week. No big deal, she has a simple system with self-watering pots. Anyway, I hope you’re having a good week. Let’s catch up over coffee soon.

I’ve been trying to read more before bed instead of scrolling through my phone. I picked up a mystery novel from the library last Tuesday and I’m already halfway through. The chapters are short so it’s easy to stop at a good point. Have you read anything lately? I could use recommendations. Also, I’m thinking of signing up for that pottery class we talked about. The community center still has spots open for the evening session. Would you be interested in joining?

Take care!
