Don't faint, yes, I'm still around..........just had lots going on..... no need for details.
Our weather is just miserable, very hot, humid, bad thunder/rain/wind storms day after day and where they "say" it's going to be it isn't, and vice versa. I hate summer, be so glad to see fall, but fall is even getting warmer (as is winter here).
Sister and I have scheduled a cruise for 10/28-11/8 in the Eastern Caribbean - counting the days. We Facetime daily, but we haven't been in each other's company since our last cruise we returned from on 2/21/19.............and I have only be out of this county ONCE in 3 years...and that was about a month ago. Really looking forward to the cruise, we have missed 3 yrs. of vacations.........bummer.
Jim: I agree about the decor............I have white walls and cabinets, but I have lots of colorful wall decor, colored carpets (which need replacing and I don't want to have to empty all the bookcases to get that done), and colorful stuff on my tables, etc. I couldn't live with that bland decor............no the black/grey/white. I like color.
talking of "non-human" biological matter, I saw a clip this AM that scientists melted glacial waters millions of years old and a worm came to life and wiggled away, was a video...................... do I believe it or not? in today's world of AI, who knows.
June: I have heard them called "rain lillies" - they are lovely.
Hope bookdelle and Beth of Vt. are ok...............those floods are terrifying.
Diane: Guess Pensacola has been having the same nasty weather as my sister in Mobile with heavy storms and high"feels-like" temps... She has gotten lots of lousy weather.............
I am still walking daily, but awake at 6:30 and get out the door before 7....using a cane, as my leg with knee implant is acting up - am in PT 2x a week to try and stay strong.... living alone gotta be - cats can't help much..... but they are such a joy.......... DD and her hubby gonna feed them while I am on my cruise, but they are going to get lonely I know....and will miss being out on the back screened porch. (I can't get them in carriers to board them anywhere...theyhate those carriers, and would cost be about $1K dollars for 12 days..................prices sure have changed.
Speaking of prices, gasoline is $3.79.9/gal here in Gainesville, and groceries have gone up too............yowza!
