Was so nice seeing all the posts the other day and even Liz popping in with latest updates from Helene in her area. Yes, it’s a long road to recovery for thousands. When you see the scope of it all, you wonder where to even begin.
Barbie, glad to arrived safely and now to get settled in and start another chapter in your life. Judy, sounds like you are in the perfect place. Enjoy.
I too am another one who can’t handle hot weather anymore. It’s either do whatever in the cool mornings or forget it. Weather determines what I accomplish or not. It’s why it love this time of year. Anne, don’t worry about my not takng tine to rest. I do. Every afternoon the dogs and I are off on a walk, so basically I am into things from morning till early afternoon. This time of year I only have so many hours to accomplish anything outside with the days getting shorter and dews getting the grass and leaves damp overnight. The pine needles have been coming down really heavy, so it’s almost a daily chore to clean them up. And the leaves are starting to fall now as trees change color and gradually drop them. So that will be my fun for next couple weeks. But I plan to get out on the road and go “leaf peeping” as we call it. Enjoying the beautiful scenery. It doesn’t last long.
Reading the comments about that crazy word and clock tests, gives me a few chuckles. Seems brain retention is in short supply on here
Most of us can’t remember what we read from the day before, plus what we said when a post goes poof before we post it. Ah, the trials and tribulations of being seniors. But some questions we get asked anymore can be downright intimidating. Just because we are getting older doesn’t necessarily mean we have “lost it”. I have a brain game app on my IPad called Word Source. It’s one of those games where letters come up in a circle and you connect them to make words to fill in the crossword puzzle up above the circle. Let me tell you, it’s a lot harder than you think. But it gives the brain a workout. Sone words come easy and others are downright difficult. But I amaze myself sometimes on words I come up with from deep in the recesses of my brain. Sometimes I have to go into a Word Unscrambler online to get my answer and the answer can be a word I never heard before. Not on the everyday vocabulary. Maybe for an English scholar. So the app is a good challenge to keep the brain sharp. But right now it’s time to end this and get cleaned up, dressed and get outside and tackle the yard mess the wind brought down yesterday. Time to put the baggers back on the tractor and go at it while everything’s dry. Supposed to rain overnight. So have a nice day all.
I tried different outlets, used a couple different charging cords of Julie's and nothing. With the app, we could use that to get in as early as 6am, but without it, we need to wait now until they open at 8:30. I have Julie on my account there so I will have her added on the app so she can use her phone for today to open and close the unit. We should still be OK with beating the heat. We will be parked under a large awning by the main door, and the unit is right around the corner from there, so we should be able to get unloaded pretty quickly while it is still just in the 80's or so. 
I dropped off the U-Haul and then stopped at a Verizon store. They pretty much said my phone is toast. So when I got back to David and Julie's house, I ordered a new one on Amazon that will arrive at the new house tomorrow.
