The air is cooler, damper, and it’s overcast today. We were rained on last night—no breakfast on the patio, because our patio chairs were soaked, and the wisteria canopy over the other seating would rain on you– 😉 I’m ready for summer to end, I...

We normally watch Hulu or Netflix in the evenings…been watching Tree with Deep Roots (24 episodes) on Hulu, now Revenge on Netflix—and that means we don’t get the weather warnings. But I’d left my telly on in my room, and heard the beep/buzz....

So far the closest is 10th cousin, via the Batchelders of Massachusetts. But we numerous times share grandmothers and grandfathers, before we diverge off again due to descent from a different sib. Well, we’ve done it again, this time re Adm. Hawkins, naval...

I’ve been following the reports—know some of the territory involved. The Estes Park region, the I-25 corridor we use at least once a year. These are familiar names to us… We know we have people near 25. Hope everybody is ok.

The Teen folk were fine—couldn’t find an addy 10 blocks due north of them, but hey, you can’t find everything. We guided them in and they took the furniture with no problem. Meanwhile I got a lovely hundred dollar discount from a reader who signed us...

And left it in the driveway. The next time they call us to ask for a donation, they get coal in their shoes, and the edge of my temper. We’ve called another charity I like better anyway, and we hope they’ll send a truck to take it.

Plus a 100 lbs of chair. Several air filters, boxes of kitchen stuff, pillows, bedding, you name it, all sitting out on the drive waiting for the charity truck… We now have a mattress to dispose of. I vote for setting it in the drive labeled ‘free!’...

We are moving furniture out for a charity pickup tomorrow. And the rain we have had for several days is going away today, so we will be able to get that monster couch up from the basement and the exercycle out as well. Wish us luck.
