I have a recipe for a honey-and-walnut ice cream infused with rosemary. Too bad we couldn't bring the ice cream maker with us. https://www.scoopadventures.com/cookbook-preview-rosemary-honey-walnut-ice-cream/

The Rise of Kyoshi, by F. C. Yee, with Michael Dante DiMartino. Brought it with me for reading on vacation. I had no idea it existed until I popped into Horizon Books a few days before departure. It follows the early life of Avatar Kyoshi, a formidable woman who was merciless in her pursuit of justice and peace amid an era of turmoil 430 years before the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Forced to flee after the "false Avatar" dies at the hands of his treacherous mentor, Kyoshi seeks aid in a group of daofei, brutal gangsters who adhere to a strict code of honor and blood. Together with her best friend and bodyguard, a Firebender named Rangi, can this humble household servant who can barely lift a pebble bring order and stability to the Earth Kingdom? Perhaps, but first she'll need someone to teach her how to bend the Four Elements.

Hey, Marty. Hey, Albert.

Brat.

Not even the weather?

You "whip out your wand"?

Hey, Buckie.

@Drew Espinosa will love this.

The sun is quite hot, but the water is very refreshing.

Hey, Albert. How are you and Steve?

Hey, Drew! How are things in Texas?

Hey, Gary. Hey, Clo. Shame about the shoes.

Yup. He's been very well behaved, so far.

Hey, Dugh and Thistle. *scratches for the wee pup* How's Mum faring?

I thought the movie looked really bad. And I don't mean "scary".

Mickey is the only one in our family who likes horseradish. But Remy is the only one who likes pineapple. They're truly an odd couple.

Very. We brought Mickey's "new" boat on a trailer, and the boys are taking it for a spin on the water. BBQ ribs, coleslaw, and spicy sweet potato salad are on the menu for dinner. Morgan and I spent the afternoon snuggling in a hammock down near the water.

Hey, Bertie. How's you and Steve? Hey, Gary. How is Cookie? And Falkor?

This kid! OMG!

Poor Gary. Sending gentle, cooling breezes your way.

I was speaking generally. Pizza and wine? Good combo.

You can't get back a deposit on a rental if three hungry boys have eaten the property down to the foundations.

Can't go wrong with wine.

We already had dinner. And I would never do that to them.

Too bad I'm not near an airport.
