Lazy Days Of Summer ..........

I took a couple of weeks "off". By that, I mean that I didn't have to Babysit and - since it's been pretty hot - I would only go out for a couple of hours in the early morning to run my errands. (Also, the sun's been pretty strong during the afternoon and I try to stay out of it).

Last week, I had a Birthday and some family members treated me to a lunch at Miller's Ale House on Sunday and a breakfast at Perkin's on Monday. Thursday, I drove down to New Brunswick for Blood Work. There were some problems with the system that prints out the labels but I only had to wait an extra half hour. 

Friday, we had some really heavy rain - on and off - and I actually had to pull over one time because I couldn't see.

Yesterday the sun was up and there was a nice breeze. I stopped at Dunkin' Donuts, as usual, for breakfast, and took a leisurely drive around Woodbridge. About 10 minutes later, I got a text so I pulled over and parked. It was a "Good Morning" message from my Daughter. I put the phone away and was ready to move on when I saw this guy.





It was a nice day and I was feeling good. He looked like he was enjoying an early morning walk. I wished him well. 

There's a way to get to Shoprite through a local development and I had plenty of time. That's where I saw this jogger.




Good for her. I drove on.

I picked up a few things and headed for Walmart - I had a prescription to pick up. I took the side streets on the way home and noticed this guy.



It was tempting but a bit too open.

Today was another great one. I needed gas so, first thing, I headed up to the Wawa in Avenel. Just as I was about to make the left to get to the station this truck came off Route 1 and cut me off. I had to slam on the brakes. 

I'm not a confrontational person so I pulled into one of the other pumps and filled up. I drove back towards Amboy Avenue along some side streets. I stopped at a sign and saw this guy smoking a cigarette in his truck.




This is the guy who cut me off and he wasn't paying attention to what was going on.

Point, press, Flash.

I picked up a protein drink at Walgreen's. I stopped at a Krauser's for some Lottery tickets. I wound up passing by the Middle School my Daughter attended. There are several groups that use the ball fields for Cricket and I thought I'd check it out. I've always wanted to see a game. 



I was back in my car in less then 10 minutes. It was  more boring then Baseball.

I took the right turn by the school heading for home when I saw this guy.




It's not something I would wear while taking a walk around the neighborhood but this is not my neighborhood. 

I went home and read the paper

I have a few things coming up this week. Nothing serious.

Just some things to do on some lazy days of Summer.
