It's still miserably hot and humid here on Cape Cod, and I 'm so, so happy to have my little job in the little office of the little church where I work...I love working there, but during the last few weeks, what I've loved most is the air-conditioning!

But now, after describing the blissfully cool air of work, I'm afraid to say that I have tomorrow off because (oh, boy, you won't believe this one) the gas company man is coming for my annual tune-up. Yes, this is where everyone is supposed to laugh...

So until it cools off a bit (we're waiting for you, September!), I thought I'd post a refreshing photo of the Cape Cod National Seashore in Eastham, where my sister Cathy and I bicycled during her visit earlier this summer. We had a lovely day bicycling the trails, and then we picked up mussels and steamers (the Cape Cod clams also known as quahogs) and brought them to our sister Sue's house in Falmouth for dinner. Cape bliss.

Stay cool, everyone; fall is coming!
