Winey Wednesday

It has been an all day rain here today.  I had planned a walk on the beach.  Instead,  I caught up on a dozen little chores.

  1. cleaned the kitchen and mopped the floors
  2. tidied up the office
  3. did a load of laundry
  4. found a lost button and sewed it back in place
  5. read some blogs and e-mails
  6. chatted with a friend
  7. read, finished a book a friend had loaned to me
  8. finished two poems I had been working on
  9. home yoga practice
  10. gathered up the recycle to put out later
  11. gathered together some tax information
  12. swept out the lanai (which I have barely used this winter)
I am thinking I can just kick back with a glass of wine and listen to the rain on the roof this evening.

J'aime boire du vin rouge.  I practiced my French lessons as well.

  2. Goodness, you have accomplished a lot! One or two rainy days a week would obviously be very productive!

  6. Nothing like the sound of rain on the roof. Throw in a good glass of wine and you are approaching nirvana.

  9. Wow! You got a TON done! Good for you! I still have so many chores to do that it's hard to keep up with my blog.

  10. You are an inspiration. I think I will try to accomplish a long list today. Mine will have to be outside because we are supposed to be in the 60's today. This means lots of attention to the chickens.

  13. Well done. I would just curl up with a book. You got a lot done. My brother is in the Ft. Myers area and is getting crabby that they can't bike ride. Maybe I will send him your list.

 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.
