Lazy Wednesday

This is the front of my apartment building.  We are on the 4th Floor.  We just got a new garbage and recycling area.  One of the tenants crafted a 12 bin facility complete with lids, doors, and handles to keep the garbage in and the riff raff out. Very exciting stuff. 

After getting a few groceries, thanks to a donation from mi familia, I met a friend at Prospect Park.  We basically just sat around watching people and chatting.  Shortly after we arrived, there was a man flying a kite.  Then another.  Then two more.  Then there was a club.  It was really cool to watch them set their kites, line it up and walk it out, and then watch them take off.  It reminded me of being a kid again.  

So we started talking about all the stuff we had as kids and looked at the kids around us.  There were the Razrs (which we called scooters), there were squirt guns (remember super soakers?), and there were a variety of other things.  But it reminded me of slip and slides, water bombs, and all the other must haves of a childhood summer.  Just then a beagle puppy came tumbling into me.  I had heard these were among the friendliest dogs in the world, but this one was king. He was just so happy to have the attention.

I also watched some pick up soccer which I will make a goal to get in before the summer is over.  Other than that, it was a pretty lazy day.  Ahhhh the dog days of summer ;-)
