Tom, thanks for saving me some keystrokes. Thank you also for, as always, fighting the good fight.

Life is a little hectic right now, recovering from Helene. Trees are down everywhere. I didn’t have major damage to my house, but if my neighbor hadn’t cut down 6 big pine trees last year, I might not be here. This is worse than the ice storm 10 years ago, when Jim Cantore himself came to Augusta. I’ve been over a week without running water (I have children close by, thank God, who still have theirs). I’ll get by.

Whoa! Talk about luck wrapping itself around you. Stay safe!

You know, when she cutdown all those trees, I used to say to myself, jokingly, “You’re not from around here, are you?” Both of our houses face south, in Georgia. I treasure my shade, and grieve the loss. She cut down her afternoon shade. Now, all I feel is unending gratitude.

Though , I have to say, the two she spared are now in my yard, hence, a little snark, along with contrition and gratitude.

Thank you, MaryPat. I got my internet back on today. I feel normal again. Cheap romance novels only take you so far. 😉
