Mornin’, Miss Wee. Sure do. Remember this 6′ young man when he was just a squirt! Mrs. T is none too happy about this aging process! 😉

My granny used to say “Old age is no place for sissies!” I appreciate the truth of it far more now than I did at the time. I asked her once, “Gran, why do you groan every time you sit down?” She just smiled and said “Honey, one day you’ll know.” She was right–on both counts.

Haha! Morning Wee. Last night at dinner we were all laughing and talking about the beautiful fall colors we are seeing all around us. #1 son, the trucker, commented on how beautiful it was in El Paso last week, all those lovely shades of brown and gray, he says, kind of like spring, summer, and winter in El Paso. Yep, we are entirely a family of smart azzes.

Mornin’ Wee! I remember the trip from San Diego to Detroit in 1974 pulling my parents’ 5th wheel trailer. Two days from El Paso to Texarkana. 813 miles by road.

Looked it up. Texas is 773 miles wide. Actually 801 miles top to bottom. By contrast, Tennessee is 440 miles, I think. I know it takes a long danged time to get from Chattanooga to Memphis.

Takes 14 hours to get from South Miami to Jacksonville, FL. I have driven it a few times and “tomorrow” seems about right.

Driving across Texas seems to take forever! But if you COULD drive across Alaska, which you can’t because there are no roads to do so, it would take twice as long. Alaska is 2,261 miles wide and 1,420 miles from top to bottom.
Yeah, it’s BIG. The longest intrastate drive is from Homer to Prudhoe Bay, a distance of 1,074 miles. Takes 21 hours. Mostly not paved from Fairbanks to Prudhoe.

It’s Saturday, and I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Cold here this morning, and heavy fog out on the field and pond. The deer were in a playful mood, racing around the pond and laps around the field.
Last night as we were having dinner they came running right past the window, maybe a dozen feet away. The kids loved that.

Here’s a short, introspective fall read. The quote at the beginning caught my eye, and I was sucked in by Touchdown Jesus. Of course!
Still I notice You when change begins, and I’m braced for colder winds
I’ll offer thanks for what has been & what’s to come, You are autumn.

Hello to all. Well, yesterday went……………well, really sucky. It poured rain and I had to load the car after walking down the short walkway, then across the street that had a 3 ft wide, ankle deep river running down it, and then to the car under the carport (thank goodness). I got the car loaded, put Loki in her carseat and took off to drop her off. I misunderstood the rules and have to pay another $18 for being early. Then, in the pouring rain, I went on to my friend’s house to load up her stuff. But, she hadn’t been able to find her cat, so she wasn’t ready. She has a carport and that went well. Then we took off and stopped at Cracker Barrel for lunch, in the rain. Afterwards we inched our way 4 miles on I4 towards Orlando until we got to our exit. Then it really started pouring and was just awful until we finally got to our hotel at the beach several hours later. Most of the way it was almost impossible to see. Very stressful trip.
We found the hotel and parked under the overhang and unloaded some of the stuff. We went in and checked in and……………….the lights went out………………for that whole section of town. We were on the 5th floor, so couldn’t manage our luggage and stuff until the elevator started working when the electricity came back on, several hours later. My friend has diabetes and I was worried about her getting something to eat. One of the lovely people who were staying there too, gave us some of their pizza. When the lights finally came back on we went up to our room and discovered that the air conditioner wasn’t working, because the power outage had messed it up, And, the windows don’t open. The wind was blowing like a hurricane and we couldn’t keep the patio door open because it kept blowing it closed.
Annnnd, when I started to move my car into a parking place………….I had lost my key off of my key ring. Luckily, I have always carried a spare in my purse, but I worried about somebody finding the key and stealing the car.
Finally had some wine and eventually went to bed.
Woke up this morning and the rain had stopped. The surf was absolutely violent, but beautiful. It looked like another storm was coming in, but that never materialized. A slightly cool, but pleasant day. Oh, and some kind soul had found my key and turned it in to the office. We drove to a shopping center where we saw a Dollar Store and went in to buy a couple of things we had forgotten, then came back and sat on the patio and had some wine. All in all a pleasant day.
