It's off to the gallery today.  Had a very pleasant day with daughter and grandkids yesterday.  Daughter was able to get on the  'net and get some "work" done as well.  She brought the youngest's laundry since their dryer is on the fritz and they don't have the way with to fix it.  I told her she could come up anytime, if needed.
I also told her that while I'm on my trip they could come up and stay a couple of days if they wanted.  Change of scenery and all that.  If J comes up he could get some chainsaw work done.  That would be very nice.  All those dang sweet gums.
Only a couple of weeks before I start packing.  Yay!  Can't wait to get out of here for a while.  The weather here is driving me crazy.  Night before last we had a really heavy downpour.  I was expecting the pond overflow pipe to be blocked so I went down yesterday.  Surprise!  Water was flowing nicely and there was very little to clear away.  Hope it stays that way.  The folks who are responsible for the big pond have some work cut out for them.  I saw that that pipe is almost totally under water.  They're going to need to do something or the water is going to keep rising.  I can't stop the water from flowing that way, not do I want to.  Ah well, it's their problem, not mine.
Y'all have a scrumptious day and remember:  the future ain't what it used to be.....Yogi Berra
