Some of usage better than others!

 Tom at Sightings Over Sixty took me back to my daughter's teenage years with a post about tennis. It happened to be Amy's birthday and she was in the high school tennis club until she went into her dark emo phase. Her major celebrity crush throughout, though, was Bjorn Borg.

I sent her a Facebook birthday greeting, reminding her that we were all aging and including  then and now pictures of Bjorn Borg (whom we did get to see play in person at a tournament in Stratton, VT, two years in a row).


Then

Now

Amy was very quick to point out that he is still a very good-looking man. I would agree😊.

    Yes, he definitely is a handsome man. David has been watching tennis. His favorite player is Coco Gauff.

    I was a Jimmy Connors fan, myself. My son, the real tennis player in the family, once got to practice with Ivan Lendl. That was a thrill. Anyway, I agree, Borg has aged well. Hope your daughter has outgrown her emo stage and gotten back to something more positive, like tennis. Hope you enjoy the U. S. Open.

    "Dark emo phase". I have a grandkid who has been in that phase for eight years. Just spent a couple of days with them. Love them to pieces and wish I could give them a shot of sunny self-confidence.

Updates

 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.
