We are home again and somewhat unpacked.  Everything around the house was pretty much in order.  We are so exhausted I feel like I could have walked the whole way.   It will be an early night and a good old Sunday morning sleep in.  
I have thirty-something e-mail messages and 71 blogs to catch up on, plus a whole bunch of submissions from my writers' group and all the reading for the poetry workshop on Monday.  I can't deal with any of that now.  The main computer is doing all its updating stuff and being even s...l...o...w...e...r...than I am feeling right now.
We had a safe enough trip--got past Tampa just in time and avoided bad weather the rest of the way.  I sure do know I'm not in Florida any more, but there is not as much snow as I was anticipating.
My pillow is really insisting that I wash my face, brush my teeth, and kiss it good night.  You know how demanding pillows can be--best that I obey.

  2. Home again, home again jigadi jig. I'm glad you made it there safely. Isn't it amazing how things pick up just where you left off?

  3. Hi Olga, Glad you arrived home safely! Is there snow on the ground at your house? I thought I saw on the news that a storm was going up the coast a couple days ago. It's snowing here in Breckenridge, of course...

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
