Eye of the Storm

It's not that nothing is going on in my life that I have nothing to be writing about.

I could be writing a book about the things that are swirling around me.

But it is all stuff that is swirling around me. I am here helping where I can with other people's stuff. It's the stuff of family members and friends, not for me to putting out.

I am just in the eye of the storm.

    I saw that picture and my first thought was HURRICANE. Hahaha. Of course, that is not until September/October but one stays mentally prepared on the Gulf Coast. Hope you weather this one ok.

    It's never easy being in the center of a storm we cannot control or wish away. Hope all settles down soon.

    My life is kind of boring right now. So, a hurricane is just what I need to jazz things up.

    I agree with Linda. You must take care of yourself as all these things go on around you.

    Kind of an exhausting place to be. Hope the wind dies down soon so you can get out of that eye.

    Take care. I'm in a bit of a storm situation myself; I find if I can at least read other blogs and post, I'm not as bad a blogger and if I wasn't even doing THAT. Again, take care!

 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.
