@sareader --- Good to see you. Sorry that you did not get any help but looks like you are doing OK on your own.

@lovetohike ~ Irene Sorry to hear that he could not swing it to come back for a family function, but you are right. Curt should not even think about coming to the East Coast during hurricane season. He is now batting 2 for 2!

Been thinking about @oceanabooks Penny in Delaware. Storm surges on the East coast are to be at their highest because of the full moon when tides are at their highest. I know she is an old-hand with hurricane preparations and seastorms but nevertheless, 'tis a worry.

Also thinking about @sareader Clare. According to the governor, the storm could cause the worst flooding that Connecticut has seen in more than 70 years. Reminds me of last year when @bethofvt Beth told us about what it was like in Vermont. Similar could happen in CT.

Can you handle a little rant partly against myself and partly against a buyer? I had a bunch of school uniforms . One buyer bought 4 different outfits on 09-18-2012. I had sent her an email yesterday asking if there was any thing that I could do to facilitate a payment. As of today she had not paid for any of them. Today she wanted to pay for 2 of them -AND- needed them quickly. She would pay for the other 2 next week. I can't really be upset with her. At the time in my life when I would have had 4 little girls in a parochial school I probably would have difficulty coming up with $78., too.
Anyway I marked all of them as 'paid' , boxed them up and shipped them off to her by Priority Mail. I've never before shipped anything that had not been paid for.
And by-the-way @bethofvt Beth ,if she doesn't pay I may need that loan.
@sareader We are all tired of politics but it will get worse before that big day in November. Glad to see you post and glad that you liked Chicago.

Bookbase/Sandy Thanks! Now that is what I call a beach cottage! DH liked it too. We talked about having shade!! Difference between being on a barrier island and a 'real island.' Hey, where is my invitation?? LOL Easy to invite those who live far away, but given I do get to NYC ... Just kidding! You know my time to NYC is all Swifty related!

TreasureMomz (Sam) Thanks for the update on Maureen She continues to be in my prayers.

@kamabri ~ Karen It would be good to hear from you. Hope you are doing ok.

@sareader ~ Claire, If you said where your son decided to go to college, I missed it.

I received a notification that Jean's/Mainelady guest book will be closing soon. Made me so sad as I was re-reading posts on it. Hard to believe that is has been a year.
