First: I’m shocked, as is everyone, at the loss of Representative Elijah Cummings today. He was a true patriot, a civil rights leader, and a man of great integrity. May he rest in peace. I’m deeply greatful for his service to our country.
A profound loss for our country.

Thank you for all of your incredibly supportive comments on yesterday’s post! I’m glad you understand and you clearly do. We’re very excited, of course, and have a lot to do before we leave, but it will all work out and we’ll soon be in our favorite city.
We had torrential rain yesterday afternoon, evening, and throughout the night – along with winds. There are a lot of catalpa leaves on the ground this morning and we have a wind advisory for the rest of the day. And maybe tomorrow, as well.
You know by now that I do not like high winds. Especially winds that go on all day long.
Looks like I can’t rake or mow the lawn. We’re due for more rain today. I’ll try to do both before we leave but whatever happens, happens. We did get the gutters cleaned out yesterday; in fact, it started raining heavily while Don was still on the roof. I told him to come down and he did. We also ran a couple of errands. I needed a new handbag that was big enough for the trip. Does anyone else still call it a purse? I do and I feel like I have to stop myself and say ‘bag’ or ‘handbag’ instead. But they’ll always be purses to me.
I also needed an ‘in-between’ jacket. Not winter-heavy, not early fall light. We found a nice one that was on sale. And there you go!
Now I have to do things like hold the mail, buy some travel sizes of things we need, find the timers for the lights, do laundry, decide what to pack, etc.
Thank you again. Love you all.
Happy Thursday.
