It rained today, not just enough to tease but a slow, steady rain of a couple of hours. As a result I saved a couple of hours of hauling buckets of water to all my nearly dead plants. I am grateful!
angwill, thank you for the congrats. At my 'advanced' age I deserve credit.

I got the nicest phone call from a Diser friend who is returning from a month, yes - a month, at Disney and The Villages. Lucky gal!! Not sure how she is going to make it until her December trip.

My friend was very knowledgeable of how much her husband (and herself) was and is loved. Very special folks. Could not have children of their own but had many in their lives, including myself.
ANTSS2001, if you are going by yourself that should help the packing greatly. If you should 'accidentally' forget anything you can always buy new.
keliblue, does that monkey live in an apple tree? My grandson has been singing a silly song about a happy monkey in an apple tree. Might be one and the same.
