To everyone living in the States, Flood the switchboard (202-225-3121) with calls today! The House is set to vote on the #GOPTaxScam today even though it lines the pockets of their donors and lea...

Have you ever flown first class? Yes. Would you rather read books or magazines? I don’t have a preference. I just read. Have you ever seen a shooting star? Yes. I believe Nicholas is nearby when ...

I’m having a difficult time shaking this illness. It’s settled deep in my chest. If I can’t shake it by next week, it’s back to the doctor I go. Not much else to report because I just haven’t don...

---

I’m really dragging these days. Deep chest congestion and the antibiotic is only helping a little. I slept 11 hours on Sunday and had no trouble falling asleep that night (was sure I would). I ju...

---

Man, my computer is glitchy today! I read an entry, go to comment, and something goes wrong. Either I get signed out or the page changes or the site crashes. Sorry to those I missed. I’ll catch u...

Thanksgiving was busy but successful. Everyone brought a side dish, so it took a lot of the workload off my shoulders. I’d made the turkey-shaped butter pats, cranberry sauce, and the dressings a...

---

I probably won’t have many moments to get online tomorrow, so I’ll take time now to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving Day if you are celebrating. I won’t be stressed tomorrow. Most of my work is ...

Day Eight (Saturday) was less hectic than anticipated. Flight plans changed and we had extra time on our hands so we went to the Museum of Fine Arts until 1:30, I loved John Singer Sargeant p...

---

Time does fly. I will be, too, at the end of the week. I doubt I’ll be online very often while I’m in New England. We have a full agenda: Freedom Trail in Boston, a couple of days in Rockport, e...

---

A busy week is before me. I have a meeting tomorrow with a financial advisor for the non-profit, so I’ll also be working on compiling all the needed information for him. He’ll look it over and de...

The wind was still gusting the next morning and there were obvious signs that the storm had been ferocious: most notably, standing water in the low-lying areas of our yard and tree limbs EVERYWHE...

---

Most models took the storm into the Florida Keys and up the spine of Florida and Irma pretty much followed the model’s path, tearing through the Keys and hitting Marco Island and Naples hard with...

---

I’m starting to jot down thoughts on the recent storm. Over and over and over there is mention of the boys helping us to get ready, get through, and regain stability. I couldn’t ask for better so...

---

I just don’t have time to do it all and PB is one of those casualties. My sis-in-law and nephew are here for a few days until power is restored in Naples. We’re having these long discussions on ...

---

Power is on. Cable is out but eldest brought me his firestick and once I learn that (can’t find the guide again and all the people who know are asleep), I can watch something besides ABC. What a ...

---

A quick update: we lost power again last night around 7. It was still light outside, so we just went about unpacking the lighting we’d put away, pulling out the generator and hooking it up to the...

---

Power is back on. Stories to tell, but clean-up first, so I’ll be back later. Damage was minimal: loss of power, a LOT of tree limbs down, but no trees on house, no broken windows, and the roof h...

---

Doing this on my phone. Power went out at 3:20 this afternoon. Storm is picking up. We ate early and the dishwasher got through most of the cycle. So no shower tonight but we won’t be hungry. :) ...

I don’t have time to answer notes. Right now, we are okay. The worst will come mid-afternoon through early morning hours on Monday. Youngest son is with us, KittyCat is inside, lots of freeze-dri...

---

Gas for generators, check (2 small generators plus a big boy that can power 5 homes). MREs, check (actually, they’re freeze-dried camping meals, which have become rather trendy now). Shutters to ...

---

I tried to insert pictures using my paid photobucket account but I don’t think the links are working. Picture #1 was of a handwritten sign pointing to horse & buggy parking, and Picture #2 wa...

---

It’s hard not to take it personally when someone bashes Christians. Joel Osteen and his church were never designated as a hurricane shelter. Other non-designated churches who who opened up did so...

---

I am heading north for a week. Eldest son and his girl are house-sitting and caring for KittyCat. I was unsure about it because she is so skittish, but he made friends with her easily. If it does...
