A certain number of errands got done today, like going with Lil to pick up her mother's rental walker. A woman at the desk at the place said, "Good morning, y'all," and I was charmed - I've really only ever heard that in movies.
The place advertised itself as 'family rentals' and it seemed to rent mostly things for kids (cribs, rocking horses, tricycles) and the old (walkers, canes). A few items for other adults, particularly for parties: a popcorn machine, drinks glasses, a fountain suitable for orange juice.
We had lunch at an upscale mall, and bought highbrow Crocs in styles we'd never seen before.
In the evening, a Meet and Greet with the people on our particular cruise - including some of the Scots-style singers who will entertain us, who were talking about (and singing about) my part of the world, sort of - the Ottawa Valley.
I'm not sure how much Net access I'll have on the shop. Lil (our Cruise Guru, who has done it many times before) says it costs a lot and isn't worth it; she's happy to go ten days without Net access. But she isn't as Net-addicted as I am, and she doesn't have an LJ habit.
If I go silent for a while, picture me lounging on a deck with a book in the Caribbean Sea, and a smile on my face.
