Greetings, all ,
Welcome back to our society! We all hope you had a simply marvelous summer, and that those who traveled all arrived home safely. Leslie and I did our traveling in May this year, but we did drive over to see the granddaughter‘s graduation in Tampa in August. We got out of there just before the rains of tropical storm Debby came in, thank goodness. The rest of the time we mostly sheltered in the air conditioning here.
It was a very very hot summer with lots of thunderstorms in the late afternoon and evening (my favorite time to work outside), and it was challenging to get much yard work done.
