on the day of summer solstice

Was the day longest today?

It was cloudy
and no sunlight poured into my room.

I went to my daughter's house twice---
around 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Before going to my daughter's house
in the afternoon,

I went to the community café
where I used to work
as a volunteer waitress.

I enjoyed talking to many people there.

We chattered happily on about this and that.

Chattering makes seniors happy and healthy.
