It was nice to be back in the pacific northwest for a few weeks and great to see the kids, visit with friends, catch up with my old (previous, not age) co-workers and make new acquaintances with the staff in the STD clinic. It was certainly an educational experience working there; I learned more that I ever thought I'd know about the HIV high risk population in Snohomish county! I'll be back again in August and September - so to anyone I missed this last visit (and everyone I didn't) name the place and location - happy hour here I come!
I returned "home" to Charleston and the heat and humidity. Mel and I immediately got to work in the yard tearing up sod where we plan to lay pavers in the back yard, and moving it to the front yard. 110 degree heat index? No worries, Mel has discovered "sweet tea". Although the heat can be stifling to "normal" humans, Crape Myrtle trees thrive in this weather. The streets and yards in Charleston are an incredible display of white, purple, pink, red and every shade in between. It's worth a visit just to see them, really!
